WOW . . . I live in his district. I was a tough fight last year but the GOP ran a wuss. WOW I forget how long a Dem, Bud Cramer held this seat before Parker Griffith won it after Cramer’s retirement.
Bud Cramer won because he was the ranking Dem on an appropriations committee that was important to North Alabama. When he retired the state lost that leverage.
I too live in Griffith’s district and have for most of my life.
I forget how long Cramer held the seat but before him it was held by Ronnie Flippo - another Demonrat.
