Dixon, a conservative Republican and longtime cotton and peanut farmer, launched his campaign earlier this week.

A lifelong resident of Chambers County and a graduate of Auburn University, Dixon said he intends to bring a business-minded approach to Montgomery and be a strong voice for rural communities in Chambers and Lee counties.

The special primary election to fill the remainder of former Rep. Debbie Wood’s term is set for October 21, 2025.

Dixon will face Kristin Nelson of Valley, chair of the Chambers County Republican Party, and Micah Messer of Smiths Station, a small business owner, law enforcement officer, and U.S. Army veteran.
