Dixon Welcomes New Date for CD6 Primary
Case Dixon says the delayed Congressional primary gives him more time to meet voters across Alabama’s 6th District
Republican Congressional candidate Case Dixon said Tuesday that Alabama’s newly scheduled special primary gives his campaign more time to connect with voters across the 6th Congressional District.
Dixon released the statement after Governor Kay Ivey announced that special primaries for Alabama’s 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th Congressional Districts will now be held on Aug. 11. The move came after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Alabama to use the Legislature’s 2023 Congressional map for the 2026 election cycle.
“Over the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of meeting thousands of people across this district, hearing their concerns, and sharing my vision for the future of our country,” Dixon said. “Over the next three months, I will continue working every single day to earn the trust, support, and vote of the people of this district.”
The new election calendar follows a special session of the Alabama Legislature and a Supreme Court decision that vacated a lower court ruling blocking the state’s 2023 Congressional map. Under the revised schedule, there will be no runoff election for the affected Congressional primaries.
Dixon also urged voters to continue participating in Alabama’s regularly scheduled May 19 primary elections, despite the Congressional contests being moved to August.
“I want to strongly encourage every eligible voter to still go vote on May 19,” Dixon said. “There are vitally important races on the ballot that will help shape the future of Alabama and our country.”
The updated district map also removes portions of southern Elmore County from the 6th Congressional District, ending what Dixon described as an important relationship with voters there.
“It has truly been an honor to spend time in southern Elmore County and earn the support of so many wonderful people there,” Dixon said. “While I regret that I may no longer have the opportunity to represent many of those communities under the updated district lines, I will always be grateful for the kindness and encouragement I received along the way.”
Dixon said his campaign will continue pushing forward ahead of the August primary.
“This campaign is far from over,” Dixon said. “I humbly ask for your continued prayers, support, and help sharing our message.”
According to Gov. Ivey’s proclamation, qualifying for the special Congressional primary opens May 20 and closes May 22 for major party candidates. The general election remains scheduled for Nov. 3.
