Meet the candidate who will replace Mike Rogers and pull Alabama out of the past, out of last place and into the future!

Meet Lee McInnis! Take a long look at his credentials and his plans to move Alabama ahead. Then join us on Thursday, February 19th at 6 pm, the Jim & Shirley Justice Center, 812 Noble Street, Anniston for a pot-luck meal followed by a question-answer session :) Bring a dish to share with others if you are able - otherwise, come and bring a friend :)

Lee graduated from Homewood High School and Auburn University, where he earned his BA in communications. After college, Lee joined Army Intelligence and served for six years in both the Active and Reserve Components. Lee used the GI Bill to go back to graduate school at Auburn, where he earned a Master’s Degree in Communications and International Relations.

He then started his career in the Defense Intelligence Community. His career included seven years of overseas service, with assignments in the United Kingdom, Qatar, Bahrain, a deployment to Iraq, and two deployments to Afghanistan. His final position was as the Acting Director of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance with the Joint NATO/USA Special Operations Task Force in Kabul, Afghanistan. During that deployment, he received the Joint Staff Civilian Commendation Medal. Upon leaving federal service, Lee was honored with the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Director’s Intelligence Award for his 28 years of service.

After Lee retired from federal service, Barb’s job took them to Augusta, GA, where Lee taught Communications and American Government courses at a local college. After Barb retired from federal service, they moved to Opelika, and Lee enrolled again in Auburn’s graduate school, where he earned a Master’s Degree in History and a Graduate Certificate in Public History. 

THE ISSUES:

SUPPORT HEALTHCARE

• We must immediately repeal the sections of the Trump budget that will peel away $1 trillion in federal healthcare support. This will particularly be devastating in the 3rd District where healthcare deserts already exist.

EDUCATION FOR ALL

• Every child in the United States has the right to a quality, free education in a safe environment. The quality of that education should not depend on where the child lives, or their parents’ income. 

FAIR TAXES

• The working and middle classes have been asked to carry the weight of the federal government for too long. Ordinary people pay more than their share in taxes, and suffer the cuts in services, while the ultra rich benefit from our unfair tax codes. This is especially devastating in our rural communities.

It's time to FINALLY say 'bye-bye' to Mike Rogers.

Since 2017, Mike Rogers has not participated in a 'public' forum or town hall event in our area. You might see him if you are a member of the Chamber or Kiwanis, or at Anniston Army Depot. He's also been spotted at Wal-Mart and Pic-n-Save in Anniston. As far as the majority of the voters are concerned - Rogers is just an 'empty suit' and in hiding from his constituents.

To the left is the poster from last year's efforts in trying to reach Rogers and get him to speak to his constituents about issues that concerned them.

Pictured at the right is the last time Rogers was seen in a public forum in 2017. Martha 'The Hat' Jordan put that 'look' on his face with what should have been a simple question.

Lastly, is the 'stand-in' for 'No-Show Rogers' as the town hall went on as planned.

Meanwhile, 'The Hat', had a question for Rogers.

Below the audience participates in comments and questions.

Bottom line: Come out and Meet Lee McInnis. Learn what HE can do for YOU - and how YOU can help put HIM in the position to move us ALL ahead. It's a 'win-win' situation.
