A debate featuring six Republican candidates for governor will be taking place in Huntsville on April 26. Hosted by Focus on America, the debate will include Lindy Blanchard, Lew Burdette, Tim James, Dean Odle, Donald Trent Jones and Dave Thomas.

Alabama’s general election is set for November 8, 2022.

Tuesday’s Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Debate is set to begin at 5:45 p.m. at The Event Center at Roto Rooter.
