Alabama Democratic Party Chair Joe Turnham will be stepping down effective January 29 after his party suffered a bruising defeat in the election of 2010.
While the Republicans on the national level took control of the House, Alabama’s GOP captured both houses of the state Legislature for the first time in 136 years, since federal Reconstruction right after the Civil War.
Turnham called a special meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee for January 29 to elect a new chair. No quotes have been forthcoming to accompany the release at this time to explain the decision. We will report more on this and have comments of our own at some point.
We would be interested to know how readers feel about this, especially Democrats in Alabama. Hit the word “Comment” below…
