The State of the Democratic Party with Mallory Hagan

For nearly two decades, Democrats in Alabama have struggled to win statewide - losing ground, resources, and voter trust. In this episode, I sit down with former Miss America and political trailblazer Mallory Hagan for an honest conversation about how the party collapsed, and what it will take to bring it back.

Mallory and I break down the internal dysfunction, the uphill battle, and fundraising failures that left Alabama without a competitive two-party system and why that matters for everyone, regardless of political affiliation. We talk about the importance of competitive primaries (even within the Republican Party), the urgent need to recruit strong candidates who can fundraise and build name recognition, and how Democrats can rebuild real infrastructure and community trust from the ground up.

This conversation isn’t about dwelling on the past, it’s about building the future.
