Republican congressional candidate Case Dixon released the following statement last Thursday after officially qualifying for the August 11 special primary election in Alabama’s 6th Congressional District:
“When I started this campaign back in the spring of 2025, I knew without a doubt it would be an uphill battle. I’m a 26-year-old husband, father and healthcare worker who doesn’t come from a politically connected family, challenging a 12-year incumbent. I’d never run for office before, but I believed in something greater than myself.
“I believed in standing up for what’s right – for truth. I believed it was time to push back against the reign of career politicians. To truly fight for limited government, free markets, constitutional liberties, and individual responsibility. I believed it was time for young people to have a voice in our government again. But most importantly, I believed in unapologetically taking a stand for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this pivotal moment in history. We desperately need Him now more than ever.
“I’ve learned so much from this experience and met so many incredible people along the way. It has genuinely given me hope for the future of this state and our nation.
“Some may not realize this, but the results from my race this past Tuesday were not binding. Yes, I was on your ballot and votes were tallied, but your vote did not determine the Republican nominee for Alabama’s 6th Congressional District. Due to the redistricting process and changes to the congressional lines, the votes cast on May 19 will not be certified, and there will instead be a special primary election for this race on August 11.
“After speaking with my wife, close friends and spending time in prayer, I feel led to qualify for this special election and finish the race I started.
“I believe that when you commit yourself to something bigger than yourself, and when others place their trust and support in you, you should see it through to the end. With the way this race was reset through redistricting, I do not feel I have done that.
“I understand the uphill nature of this race, but I also believe this special election and the next three months provide voters with a unique opportunity to truly evaluate both candidates, hear directly about our vision for the future and make a decision based on principles, policies and the direction they want for our district and country.
“I feel I owe it to my family after countless nights away from home, days without seeing my children and the sacrifices my wife has made carrying so much of the burden while I’ve been on the campaign trail.
“I feel I owe it to every person who donated financially to this campaign. When someone donates, they are giving more than money; they are giving their time and labor, which is one of the most valuable things a person has. I owe it to every volunteer who gave their time, energy and effort because they also believed in something greater than themselves.
“And I feel I owe it to the people of District 6 to continue giving voters a choice in this election and to continue earning the trust and support of this district over the next three months.
“I do not make this decision lightly. I genuinely believe this is what I am being called to do. I humbly ask that you continue to keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers, and that you continue helping us spread our message to friends, family and voters across AL-6.
“Thank you all again for the support, encouragement, prayers, and kindness you’ve shown my family and me throughout this journey. No matter what happens, I can promise you this: I will never stop fighting for the future of our children, our freedoms and the values that make this country worth preserving.”
