Alexandria (Alex) Braswell has been officially selected as the Democratic nominee for Alabama House District 11 and will appear on the ballot in the General Election scheduled for Aug. 26, 2025. Braswell, a longtime Cullman County resident, sign language interpreter and dedicated advocate for working families, expressed gratitude and reinforced her commitment to meaningful change for the district.
“I’m honored to be chosen as the Democratic nominee for House District 11,” Braswell stated. “My campaign has always been about people—their concerns, their struggles, and their hopes for a brighter future. As we move forward, I will continue to fight fiercely for working families, public education reform, and the restoration of critical disability protections that have been unjustly rolled back.”
Central to Braswell’s campaign are core issues directly impacting local communities. She emphasized that her priorities include enhancing economic stability for working families, strengthening public education and reversing the erosion of disability protections. “The road ahead is about bringing accessibility, accountability, and advocacy to District 11,” Braswell added. “Families here deserve roads and bridges that are safe and well-maintained, but these improvements must not come at the expense of unnecessary tax hikes or special favors like excessive truck weight exemptions that ultimately cost taxpayers more.”
Braswell also pledged her support for local pharmacies by advocating for greater oversight and regulation of Pharmacy Benefit Managers, PBMs. “It’s essential that we stop price gouging practices that threaten local pharmacies and ensure fair drug pricing and reimbursements for our community providers,” she said.
As Braswell prepares for the General Election, her campaign is focused on voter engagement and grassroots organizing. Supporters are encouraged to participate in outreach, attend events, contribute financially and remain actively involved through social media.
Braswell’s nomination comes after Governor Kay Ivey issued a writ of election following former State Representative Randall Shedd’s resignation in mid-February. Shedd resigned to accept a position as the director of constituent affairs for State Senator Garlan Gudger. Governor Kay Ivey officially announced the special election on Feb. 24.
Meanwhile, two Republican candidates, former Cullman County Board of Education member Heath Allbright and retired U.S. Army Colonel Don Fallin, are vying for their party’s nomination. The primary election will be held on May 13, 2025, with a potential runoff slated for June 10, 2025, if no candidate secures a clear majority.
Braswell concluded her remarks by urging voters to stay involved: “This campaign is about real solutions that uplift every resident. I look forward to hearing directly from voters, understanding their concerns, and working tirelessly on their behalf in Montgomery.”
