Dean Odle

Dean Odle

Alabama Governor

Party: Republican

Age: 53

Residence: Opelika

Political experience: None

Professional experience: Founder, Fire & Grace School of Ministry, 2018; founder and senior pastor, Fire & Grace Church, 2009-present

Education: Honorary Ph.D., Pilgrims University, 2002, Troy University; Jefferson Davis High School, 1986

Main issues: “My top priorities will be health freedom issues from stopping vaccine mandates to ensuring doctors can prescribe hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin or any other safe and effective drug they feel will help their patients. Education will be a top priority. My plan is to remove all vestiges of Obama’s Common Core curriculum and then introduce a total no-strings-attached school voucher program. This will create free-market competition among schools. Thirdly, my economic plan is to stand on the 10th Amendment and the Doctrine of Nullification to nullify all unconstitutional federal laws and regulations that are hindering us from drilling for our oil and natural gas. This will allow Alabama to prosper and it will also allow us to lower taxes in our great state. And I will go after corruption in every state agency … . I will drain the Alabama swamp and stand against the Deep State agenda.”
