What’s the most important local issue in AL-06? Candidates lay out their top priority

Six Republican candidates vying for the open seat in Alabama’s 6th Congressional District stopped by Yellowhammer News HQ in downtown Birmingham last week to answer five questions. This week we’re posting a series of videos showing their responses. Each day (Monday-Friday), we are posting one question, along with each candidate’s response. The responses were limited to one minute each. Our goal was to ask specific questions, then make it as easy as possible for you to compare the candidates and make the most informed decision possible when you head to the polls June 3rd.


ICYMI:
1. The first question in this series revealed what AL-06 candidates would do if Bill Gates called them pushing for more guest workers.
2. The second question asked what each candidate would do if they were given the ability to singlehandedly rewrite the tax code.
