Building a Full Alabama Democratic Ticket — and Why It Matters (w/ Tabitha Isner)

Tabitha Isner joins Alabama Politics This Week to talk about her run for Alabama Senate District 26 — and why she says “rocking the boat” is exactly what Alabama’s legislature needs right now. We discuss how SD-26 changed with redistricting (Montgomery + parts of Elmore County), what the turnout numbers suggest about competitiveness, and why Isner says voter disengagement is rooted in gerrymandering and a “that’s just how it is” mentality. We also dig into major power-and-process fights in Alabama: keeping the Public Service Commission elected, expanding voter involvement (and the lack of ballot initiatives), Medicaid expansion politics, and what it takes to recruit candidates and build a full Democratic ticket statewide. ----- 00:00 Why she’s running 04:14 District math + turnout 06:02 Re-engaging voters 12:55 Key issues: Medicaid + PSC 27:28 Building the Dem ticket ----- RESOURCES & SOCIALS Listen to Alabama Politics This Week anywhere you get podcasts. 🌐 Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/alpoliticsthisweek.com 🌐 X/Twitter: x.com/alathisweek 🌐 Facebook: facebook.com/alalpoliticsthisweek 🌐 TikTok: tiktok.com/@alpoliticsthisweek 🌐 Instagram: instagram.com/alpoliticsthisweek --- SUPPORT THE SHOW 👍 Like this video and SUBSCRIBE! ⭐ Rate us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. 📧 Email questions/voice notes to apwproducer@gmail.com with your name and city/county. --- ABOUT OUR SPONSOR Alabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality, the gaming and hospitality entity for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, with properties across the U.S. and Caribbean — including Alabama — offering entertainment, dining, hotels, and amenities.
