State statements
Health careNo. 1/8
Alabama should expand Medicaid to cover more low-income adults.
Background
Alabama is one of the states that has not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, so most low-income adults without children do not qualify. Expansion would cover adults up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line, with the federal government paying most of the cost.
Alabama should temporarily pause approvals of new large data centers.
Background
Several large data center projects are planned in Alabama, and they use large amounts of electricity and water. A pause would stop new approvals for a set period while the state reviews their effects.
So let me make this clear — I am for a one year moratorium to halt data center development in the state of Alabama until we have guardrails and policies in place that protect our people and our communities
Alabama should let citizens put proposed laws on the statewide ballot by petition.
Background
Alabama has no citizen initiative process, so only the Legislature can place measures on the statewide ballot. This would let voters gather signatures to put proposals to a statewide vote.
Alabama should allow abortion in cases of rape or incest.
Background
Alabama law bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with an exception only for serious risk to the patient's health. This would add exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
Alabama should expand its education savings accounts that pay for private school costs.
Background
Alabama began offering education savings accounts in 2025 that families can use for private school tuition and other education costs. Expansion would raise the program's funding or the number of students who can receive an account.
Alabama should require local police and jails to assist federal immigration enforcement.
Background
Local agencies in Alabama decide how much to work with federal immigration authorities, and some have formal agreements with them. This would make assistance, such as honoring detention requests, mandatory statewide.
Alabama should suspend its state gas tax when fuel prices rise sharply.
Background
Alabama collects a state tax on each gallon of gasoline, which funds road and bridge work. This would pause that tax during periods of high fuel prices, reducing road funding while it is suspended.
Suspending the state's $0.30 gas tax and $0.31 diesel fuel tax for just 60 days would put over $100 million back into the pockets of hardworking Alabamians.
Alabama should hold a statewide vote on creating a state lottery.
Background
Alabama is one of a few states without a state lottery, and creating one requires a constitutional amendment approved by voters. The Legislature would have to pass a proposal before it could go on the ballot.
it's going to be up to the people. The Legislature has got to do it first, no matter what it is, and then, of course, the Alabama people in the referendum will have to vote on this.
