Case Dixon, the political newcomer challenging Republican Representative Gary Palmer in Alabama’s 6th Congressional District, has officially qualified for the GOP primary, his campaign said Thursday.
“I’m running out of necessity,” Dixon said in an official press release after qualifying. “I’m worried about the future my two daughters will grow up in. As Christians, we’re called to be good stewards of what we’re given, and Washington has failed that responsibility.”
“Washington’s spending addiction continues to grow, leading to inflation that drives up prices, makes it harder for families to get by, and robs our kids of their future,” he said.
Thus far, Dixon’s campaign has largely centered around promoting staunch fiscal conservatism and increased government accountability while claiming that Palmer—a 12-year incumbent in the House—is prioritizing party loyalty over the interests of his constituents.
“My opponent has repeatedly failed to stand for accountability,” Dixon said Thursday. “He has voted for massive spending bills that fuel inflation, sustain Washington’s get-rich-quick culture, and prioritize sending taxpayer dollars overseas instead of putting Americans first.”
“Americans have had enough of endless spending, unchecked power, and politicians who treat public office as a career rather than a public trust,” he added. “It’s time for real reform. That means banning congressional stock trading, imposing term limits, shrinking the size and scope of the federal government, and returning power to the people.”
In addition to advocating for a smaller government and increased accountability measures for members of Congress, Dixon has also said he supports increasing access to cannabis, “cutting red tape” in healthcare, and “simplifying the tax code, cutting rates, and eliminating outdated limits on care-related deductions.”
Dixon also told APR in July that he supports a national ban on all abortions, no matter the gestation period and without exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
Now officially qualified, Dixon will face off against Palmer in the 2026 Republican primary on May 19.
“This race is about more than one election,” Dixon said. “It’s about whether we continue accepting a system that benefits Washington first, or demand representation that protects liberty, respects the Constitution, and puts Americans back in control of their lives.”
