Demand that the Republican Party of Alabama Steering Committee Convene to Investigate Recent Social Media Candidate Revelation
Final supporters
On June 7, 2022, 1819 News broke the story of a Twitter exchange between State Rep. Allen Farley (Republican) and outgoing Alabama Democratic Party Executive Director and Doug Jones’s campaign chairman, Wade Perry. In the Twitter screenshot obtained by 1819 News, Mr. Perry made statements that Republican US Senate candidate, Katie Britt, was “pretty awesome” and “super helpful” to Democrat Doug Jones in his 2017 Special Senatorial Election race.
In January of this year, four candidates were prevented from running under the Republican banner in the 2022 primary election due to Alabama Republican Party candidate requirements, one of which includes disqualification if they have supported a Democratic candidate within the past six years; vetting of such issues usually takes place before a candidate is qualified to run for office and placed on the ballot.
In the case at question, Mr. Perry’s allegations and comments were revealed after Mrs. Britt had already qualified with the party and placed on the primary ballot. Therefore, the investigation and resolution of this new information now falls in the purview of ALGOP’s State Executive Committee’s Steering Committee.
We are asking the Republican Party Steering Committee to be called into a special session as soon as possible to investigate the comments made by Mr. Perry regarding Mrs. Britt’s involvement in Doug Jones’s election campaign, in order to judge all candidates uniformly using the same criteria, and then hold a publicly posted roll call vote of steering committee members votes.
If you are a voter in Alabama and support our request of the steering committee, please sign the petition and comment as necessary. We will take signatures until June 16th and then present the Republican Party Steering Committee with our results on June 17th. In addition, please contact your county party to find out your State Executive Committee Member names and contacts so you are able to relay your concerns and suggestions to your party representative personally.
Time is of the essence. Please forward to other groups and friends that are interested in bringing awareness to the importance of this issue

I just blinked and we crossed the hundred mark which feels wild because I was mostly just typing this up in a bit of a frustration fog late at night. It is actually encouraging to see that other people are looking at these reports and feeling that same need for a consistent answer from the steering committee.

Watching the numbers creep up toward that first hundred is honestly wild and it makes me think about how much we really need the steering committee to actually look at this stuff instead of just ignoring the obvious. If everyone who sees this sends the link to just one other person who cares about the party staying honest we might actually get someone to pay attention to us.

We are crawling toward that 250 mark and honestly it feels like people are finally starting to notice the hypocrisy going on behind the scenes. If you have been waiting to post this on your own feed then now is the absolute best time because we need to get these people in the committee room to actually answer for this mess.

Election integrity is paramount! A possible stealth RINO is a clear threat to election integrity and with the election date looming needs to be investigated immediately.
I know she works for Senator Shelby and because of that nothing will be done to her. If these allegations are true she should be removed from the ballot immediately. As I said above since she works for Senator Shelby we all know nothing will be done.
I unfortunately Voted for Mrs Britt. I am now disgusted and upset to know she would support or help in any way such a horrible person. I only voted for her because I believed she was very very strong republican.
The Republican Party needs to be CONSISTENT in enforcing their rules! They have disqualified candidates who have helped the Democratic Party before now. They must do so again.
A transparent investigation is warranted on this matter. We cannot allow an Alabama candidate for US Senate to be qualified if preference was given to a democrat candidate over the Republican candidate in a prior election. The appearance of impropriety is apparent.
Please look into this due to the fact that we need the truth to come out about these elections
This needs to be investigated. Follow the money

In order to be fair to the other candidates that were disqualified from running in the Republican race, Katie Britt should be investigated for her support of Doug Jones in the 2017 special election
