Alabama’s Power Struggles: Residency, the Supreme Court and Affordability (w/ Neil Rafferty and AshLeigh Dunham)
Friday, 6 February, 2026
The episode centers on the residency firestorm around Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s run for governor, with Josh and David arguing that state tax returns and related records are the simplest way to prove (or disprove) Alabama residency — and warning that voting and tax questions could create serious legal exposure if the fight goes to court.Guest AshLeigh Dunham, a candidate for Alabama Supreme Court, says she’s running to bring balance to a court she views as increasingly ideological, discussing constitutional rights, the IVF decision, protest-mask proposals, and book/library censorship battles.Rep. Neil Rafferty joins to outline Democrats’ affordability focus — healthcare, premiums, and high utility bills — and to assess whether GOP infighting creates openings. The show closes with Josh distinguishing John Wahl's residency challenge from Tuberville’s and a “Right Wing Bonehead” segment criticizing Secretary of State Wes Allen’s voter-fraud messaging and restrictive absentee voting rules.RESOURCES & SOCIALS🌐 Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/alpoliticsthisweek.com🌐 X/Twitter: x.com/alathisweek🌐 Facebook: facebook.com/alathisweek🌐 TikTok: tiktok.com/@alpoliticsthisweekSUPPORT THE SHOW👍 Like this video and SUBSCRIBE⭐ Rate us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify📧 Email questions/voice notes to apwproducer@gmail.com with your nameABOUT OUR SPONSORAlabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality, the gaming and hospitality entity for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, with properties across the U.S. and Caribbean — including Alabama — offering entertainment, dining, hotels, and amenities.Music courtesy of Mr. Smith via the Free Music Archive.
