2017 AL US Senate/2018 AL Governors Election -Walter Maddox [View all]
Walter Maddox should seek the Democratic nomination for AL Governor in 2018 instead of the US Senate in 2017. In AL a top tier Democrat has a better chance becoming Governor than US Senator. If Maddox-D is elected Governor in 2018 and wins re-election in 2022 and his high job approval ratings in his 2nd term as Governor, he can then seek the Democratic nomination for the US Senate in 2026. Whoever wins the 2017 AL US Senate Special Election will have to face re-election to a full term in 2020 and again in 2026. If a Democrat wins in 2017, loses in 2020, Maddox can challenge the first term GOP US Senator.
