According to remarks made at Alabama A&M University last week, he will announce his decision in the coming weeks.
Saturday’s Huntsville Times reports that Sparks
“…confirmed that he is considering a 2008 run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Jeff Sessions, R-Mobile. He said he has received significant encouragement in Alabama and across the country to make the run and is evaluating his chances.”
Furthermore, Sparks noted that he’s term-limited in his current position and the Senate race could be a “once in a lifetime chance,” and said further that:
“If he does run, the reasons include his concern about the country’s budget deficit; that 48 million Americans don’t have health insurance; high gas prices; the handling and financing of the war in Iraq; poor veterans health care; and a basic unfairness in tax policy and worker pay…”
What a breath of fresh air he would be in Washington and what a coup for the average citizens of Alabama to have a Senator looking out for their interests and the common good instead of a few wealthy contributors and corporations.
When Sparks speaks, we know it’s coming from the heart; it’s authentic and his positions are poll-tested and contributor approved. We can only keep our fingers crossed that he makes the leap into the Senate race. He’s the strongest candidate by far and our best chance to send Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III packing.
