Capitol Journal

Capitol Journal provides extensive coverage of the Alabama Legislature and Alabama politics from a studio inside the Alabama Statehouse. Don Dailey hosts the program, examining key issues and interviewing newsmakers.

We’re joined by former governor Robert Bentley, who talks with us about his contention that Governor Kay Ivey’s setting a special U.S. Senate election in 2017 could have consequences in the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation process. We’re also joined by Alabama Public Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris, who discusses this week’s extension of the statewide masking mandate. And Rep Wes Allen of Troy is with us to talk about his bringing back a bill that would ban puberty blocking drugs and transgender surgeries for minors.
