Hamill announces Run to replace Bentley in AL House Distict 63

I can’t tell you how excited I am to see Susan Pace Hamill jump with both feet into a run for office. She is the most passionate advocate in the state for changing our regressive tax system and she does it in a way that is tough to argue against .

Hamill, a Democrat, on Wednesday listed the core principles that she said compelled her to seek public office.

“I believe government must serve the weak equally as well as it serves the strong,” she told friends and supporters in front of Trinity Methodist Church. “I believe tax policy should be written not by those with the most lobbyists, but those with the greatest commitment to equity and fairness.

“I believe the quality of public education we provide our children should not be determined by their address, their race or the circumstances of their family. I believe the process through which government makes all policy should be premised on central moral and ethical standards.”

She goes on to talk about the special interests who have opposed her in the past and will oppose her again. There is no doubt that there will be fierce competition for this seat, but there is almost no one in the state that we would be more blessed to have in elected office than Susan Hamill.
