Sen. Figures to make history in Ala. LegislatureMONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — State Sen. Vivian Davis Figures will make history for Alabama women in 2013. The Mobile senator's fellow Democrats have chosen her to begin a two-year term as minority leader in February. Legislative leaders say she is the first woman they can recall as a minority or majority leader in either the Senate or House. Figures says it's an honor not just for her, but for all women in Alabama. She says it's a long way from when she arrived in the Senate in 1997 — back then, people still addressed the Senate by saying, "Gentlemen of the Senate." Figures would stand up to remind her colleagues the Senate included two women. |
