On Wednesday, Case Dixon, an Alabama native and physical therapist from Hueytown, launched his campaign to represent Alabama’s 6th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Dixon, who describes himself as a “lifelong Alabama conservative,” is running as a Republican with the hope of unseating incumbent U.S. Representative Gary Palmer, R-Alabama, who has represented the 6th District since 2014.
“I’m running out of necessity,” Dixon said in an official press release announcing his campaign. “This is not a decision I take lightly. I truly feel I have no other choice. The birth of my first daughter completely changed everything. She is counting on me to protect her. I cannot sit around and hope that someone else will do it. We need something different. The debt crisis that no one is really addressing, the impending collapse of Social Security and Medicare, the lack of healthcare options for rural communities, and the insider corruption in Washington is too much to ignore. If Gary Palmer won’t address these issues, I will.”
In his campaign launch video, Dixon attacked Palmer and congressional Republicans over their “broken promises,” including what he sees as their failure to address the United States’ increasing national debt.
“Here we go again. Last year, Republicans ran for Congress promising to cut our ballooning national debt. Yet, they just passed a bill that adds trillions of dollars in new debt on top of the 36 trillion that we already owe,” Dixon said in the video. “I’m tired of broken promises, tired of people like Gary Palmer who promise one thing and do another. Thanks to people like him, our debt and spending are up, not down, sinking our credit rating, driving up inflation, bankrupting the next generation.”
Dixon also slammed Palmer over “sending billions” of taxpayer dollars “to fund endless wars” and for becoming a “multi-millionaire” by trading stocks while in Congress.
Additionally, Dixon criticized Palmer for supporting the “warrantless surveillance of American citizens,” which he called a “direct assault on our constitutional rights.” Dixon also noted that Palmer broke his pledge to serve only five terms in office when the congressman decided to run for reelection in 2024. If reelected in 2026, Palmer would be serving his seventh term in Congress.
“Alabama deserves better,” Dixon continued. “This is my truth. Unless we put principles over politics, nothing in Washington will ever change. Unless we get serious about cutting our national debt, America will become a second-rate power, our military will rot, Social Security and Medicare will go bankrupt, and the American Dream will be lost.”
Dixon was born and raised in Alabama, graduating from Hope Christian School in Pelham in 2018, and Jefferson State Community College in 2021. He currently lives with his wife of two and a half years and their two daughters.
“I was born here, raised here, married here. It’s where I graduated college, where I’m raising my family,” Dixon said. “We should all be worried [about] the future that our children are growing up in. Guided by conservative, Christian values, I will always stand with the principles of liberty and the Constitution.”
“It is said that I’m too young, unschooled in the ways of Washington, but I know what’s broken and how to fight for what’s right,” he added. “Silence is not an option.”
According to Dixon’s campaign, his policy platform includes pushing for fiscal discipline measures, ethics reforms like the enactment of term limits and a ban on congressional stock trading, and “defending the Constitution.” He also supports “rescheduling cannabis to respect states’ rights and improve access,” “cutting red tape” in healthcare to support telemedicine and home care, and “simplifying the tax code, cutting rates, and eliminating outdated limits on care-related deductions.”
Additionally, Dixon openly supports a national abortion ban, calling abortion access “the greatest tragedy our country has seen.”
“Science tells us life begins at conception, and the Bible tells us every child is fearfully and wonderfully made by God—created with purpose and value,” Dixon claims on his campaign website. “I fully support a nationwide ban on abortion to protect the most vulnerable—the unborn. I support defending innocent life at every stage and never backing down from the fight for life.”
In a written statement to APR, Dixon clarified that he believes all abortions should be illegal no matter the gestation period and without exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
“I believe abortion should be banned after conception—because that’s when science tells us a new and unique human life is created. That life has value, dignity, and the same unalienable rights as any other person,” Dixon said. “Unborn children are protected under the 14th Amendment. To end their lives without due process is a violation of their civil liberties. The Constitution does not grant states the right to deny basic rights to an entire class of people. That’s why I believe the federal government has a responsibility to ensure equal protection for every American, born and unborn.”
“In cases of rape or incest—first, let me be clear: those are horrific and evil acts. The perpetrator must be punished to the fullest extent of the law. And we should do everything possible to support the mother with counseling, financial help, and adoption services. But I also know life begins at conception. And while rape is a grave injustice, it doesn’t justify taking the life of an innocent child. Countless people alive today were conceived in tragic circumstances—and their lives are just as valuable as yours or mine,” he added.
However, Dixon does believe that pregnancies which threaten a mother’s life should be delivered early, “whether through C-section or induced labor–if that is necessary to save the mother.”
“I do not consider that an abortion, as long as every feasible effort is made to preserve the life of the child once delivered, no matter how early the gestation,” he told APR.
Dixon is currently the lone challenger set to face off against Palmer in next May’s Republican primary.
