CAMPAIGN 2024: Meet Republican Congressional candidate Dick Brewbaker
CAMPAIGN 2024: Action 8 News is getting you ready for the April 16 runoffs in the District 2 Congressional race. Meet Republican candidate Dick Brewbaker.
He has a degree from Vanderbilt University and was the president of Brewbaker Motors, a car dealership his family operated in Montgomery from 1941 until selling it last year.
Brewbaker served one term in the Alabama House of Representatives and two terms in the Alabama Senate. He has pledged to serve four two-year terms in Congress if he is elected.
Brewbaker faces Republican candidate Caroleene Dobson in the Republican runoff on April 16. There is also a runoff between Democratic candidates Shomari Figures and Anthony Daniels.
The winners of the runoffs will face each other in the general election on November 5.
District 2 was recently redrawn to give Black Alabamians a better chance at representation. As a result, the district, which has been a safe Republican district for decades, is now hotly contested between the Democratic and Republican candidates. It is being watched across the nation due to the near-even split in the U.S. House of Representatives.
