Billy Ray Todd is the grassroots Republican candidate running in Alabama’s House District 27 race. This is important because the grassroots, whether it is Democrat, Republican, school choice, or parental rights, is winning elections in 2024. Alabama continues to be a lightning rod because of its stances and laws, and the Left has targeted the state for progressive inroads. They are creating astroturf campaigns, like the one that put Democrat Marilyn Lands in the State House in the formerly Republican District 10. The progressive factions in the state are in paroxysms over this “sweeping win” and are convinced that mobilization and organization are all it will take to turn Alabama blue.
With Marilyn Lands (D-AL) flipping a ruby red district in AL last night by double digits, this should tell Democrats that if we organize and mobilize, every district in every state is in play. Roe is on the ballot in Nov. LFG! VOTE!🗳️ #wtpBlue #DemVoice1 pic.twitter.com/Kev8WY4vIs

They need to slow their roll. There are many factors that contributed to Lands’ win, which we will not belabor here; but know that it had little to do with the appetite of Alabamians to turn their state into a progressive swamp. This was a special election race to fill a seat vacated by a Republican who pled guilty to voter fraud charges and resigned (yeah, it’s a thing, and Alabama actually takes it seriously). According to Todd, the Republican candidate running for the seat thought he didn’t have to actually campaign.
WATCH:
He [Madison Republican City Councilman Teddy Powell] did not take it seriously.
Sounds like a problem with the Republican Party in general, not just in Alabama. On many fronts, in a number of states, Republicans are failing to take their voters seriously, whether it be on the economy, voter integrity, pro-life issues, or school choice. Todd has wisely tapped into not only people’s displeasure in the lack of action on the part of their elected officials but also their desire to see change—especially change they can believe in.
Todd is anything but unserious about his candidacy, and he wants District 27 to believe he can bring that change. Constituents will have their chance to vote for him or one of the four other Republican candidates on Tuesday, April 2, in a special election.
We need to save our district. We need to save the state. I’m willing to risk it all. To look out for the citizens of District 27 and also I want to link up with all the House representatives in the state so we could start doing the right thing. I will be fighting for you every day. We would have town hall meetings, and I would talk to other House representatives so we could do the right thing as a state. And it’s not about me, It’s about WE. We got this fight together. I can’t do it without them, they can’t do without me. So it’s teamwork.
Todd understands people want to first be acknowledged, and have their concerns heard. He feels that this is the secret sauce to what will put him ahead of his four competitors.
WATCH:
Todd identified that people want their elected officials and their party to be committed. Democrats are heavily invested in their strategies, while Republicans have missed opportunities and given too much attention to internecine battles rather than actually winning elections. Todd spoke about the commitment of the other side’s agenda, how he is passionate in his fight for our constitutional liberties and freedoms, and how he will keep his finger on the pulse of his district, which is a mixture of retirees, veterans, but also young families that moved to Alabama and this district for a more traditional and conservative set of values.
WATCH:
As a military veteran, Todd understands that if he’s taking flak, then he’s over the target. On Tuesday, while out campaigning in the city of Arab, he was attacked by someone who proclaimed herself a “Super Liberal.”
I was attacked while out campaigning at Walmart in Arab AL by a woman who called herself a “Super Liberal.”
I’m never going to stop telling the truth or back down.

WATCH:
Todd was fresh off filing the police report on Wednesday when we conducted the interview. Arab City Police Chief Shane Washburn confirmed that Bradshaw was arrested that afternoon and charged with misdemeanor harassment. The Left will probably pay her legal fees and maybe even throw her a parade.

If nothing else, this attack helped Todd to increase his name recognition and contributed to his bona fides as a true fighter. Much will rest on turnout. Word on the ground is that Alabama, like my former state of California, barely shows up for special elections. Alabama’s registered voters number 3,779,749. District 10 has 41,016 registered voters, but only 5,965 cast ballots in their March 26 special election. That’s over 35,000 voters who either did not care or were expressing their displeasure with the choices by not voting.
The rest will depend on how much District 27 wants to see a change in the status quo. That also speaks for the rest of the country.
