Karlapalem Plans Decatur Rally for House Campaign
Democratic House candidate Hanu Karlapalem will host a free May 30 rally in Decatur focused on costs, schools, and healthcare
Democratic Alabama House candidate Hanu Karlapalem is inviting residents across North Alabama to attend a public rally later this month in Decatur as he continues his campaign for the District 4 seat.
The event, titled “Rally for an Alabama We Can Afford,” is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, at 4:00 PM at High Point Market, 307 2Nd Ave SE, Suite# 3, Decatur, AL 35601. Admission is free and open to the public.
Registration is recommended, and is available at THIS LINK.
More information is available on the event‘s Facebook Event page.
The rally will focus on issues including household costs, public education, healthcare access, and state government policy ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
Karlapalem, a Madison small business owner and former Limestone County NAACP leader, is running as the Democratic nominee for Alabama House District 4, which covers portions of Morgan, Limestone, and Madison Counties. He is challenging Republican incumbent Parker Moore for the seat.
“This campaign is about An Alabama We Can Afford — lower costs, stronger public schools, real healthcare,” Karlapalem said in a campaign release. “While Alabama families are tightening their belts, the supermajority legislature and special interests are tightening their grip on Alabamians. The people of District 4 deserve a fresh start and new leadership. They are demanding change — and I couldn’t sit on the sidelines.”
Karlapalem said his campaign is built around three themes: “Economy First, People First, Constitution First.”
“My loyalty is to the Constitution — not to kings, not to special interests, and not to any party above the law,” Karlapalem said. “I am asking for your vote on November 3rd to build an Alabama we can afford.”
The campaign release also criticized recent legislation passed by the Alabama Legislature, including Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 1, which Karlapalem described as “voter suppression bills ushering in a new era of Jim Crow 2.0.”
Karlapalem has lived in Madison for 26 years and earned a Master of Science in Management Information Systems from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. His campaign says he has been active on issues involving utility costs, public schools, and growth in North Alabama.
District 4 has become a closely watched legislative race in North Alabama as Democrats attempt to gain ground in suburban areas around Huntsville and Decatur. Karlapalem officially launched his campaign earlier this spring with events in Madison and calls for multiple public debates with Moore.
