Parking scam at the @flymepensacola airport. They charge you to drive through a FULL lot. Was told I should have parked in the electric vehicle spot even though I don’t have an EV. @AGJamesUthmeier should look into it. It was only $2 but still not right.

Wrote some thoughts on Marilyn Lands' victory last night. Madison County has some unique dynamics that help Democrats, but the GOP can't underestimate the unpopularity of their stands on reproductive rights. #alpolitics
Editor @lyman_brian writes that Alabama Democrats may find it hard to replicate Marilyn Lands' victory in a special House election. But Republicans shouldn't assume that they're secure on reproductive rights issues outside of Huntsville. https://t.co/Eequ0gGlMw
