2020 AL Senatorial race: on Government Reform


John Merrill: Supported tough voter ID law, made it easier to vote

While serving as Alabama's 53rd Secretary of State John has continued to bring conservative-minded reforms to government. Made it easier to vote and harder to cheat by implementing America's toughest voter ID law, all while cleaning the state's voter rolls and registering record numbers of citizens.

John Merrill: Electoral College represents will of the people

I think that the electoral college is representative of the will of the people of the nation. Whenever there is a concern about the whether or not the electoral college is actually reflective of the will of the people, the people have always spoken to make sure their voice was heard. I think the Electoral College works the way it is setup and wouldn't make any changes to it.

Arnold Mooney: First priority would be bringing term limits

"I believe Alabamians want a conservative who can beat Doug Jones of course, but they want an outsider," said Mooney, a commercial realtor who lives in north Shelby County in suburban Birmingham. "Someone who will stick to principles and stand up to the corrupt establishment in Washington."

If elected to the Senate, Mooney said his first priority would be bringing term limits, saying "if I have to read the phone book to stand in the Senate to get to a vote, we're going to get to a vote."
