Once A Cullman Democrat, Always A Cullman Democrat

Did you know that NO elective office in Cullman County is occupied by a member of the Democratic Party? It is true. Republican Party members monopolize political offices throughout the county. 25 years ago, the exact opposite was the case; Democrats dominated the Cullman landscape.

 

What happened? The theoretical examination, philosophical assessment and practical rationale for Cullman County shifting from strongly Democratic to strongly Republican over the last two to three decades is beyond the scope of this story. Nonetheless, Cullman County is now a jurisdiction with Republican omnipresence.

 

Are there any Democrats left in Cullman County? There are … lots of them.

 

The Cullman County Democratic Party still exists. Leaders of this group believe there has never been a better time to be a Democratic, particularly for politically active citizens who desire an opportunity to directly and personally participate in exercising their constitutional and civic duties.

 

Longtime supporter of the Cullman County Democratic Party – Cindy Angle – has a profound belief about Democrats that reside in Cullman County:

 

“Once you are a Cullman Democrat, you are always a Cullman Democrat. A number of prominent citizens in years past were registered Democrats; many of those people made the switch – for a variety of reasons – to become members of the Republican Party. And I say, good for them. I am thrilled they finally found their heartfelt and intellectually pleasing political home.

In 2016, the Cullman Democratic Party has a small, yet powerful, active core of members with unshakeable Democratic integrity, philosophy and activism. There has never been a better time to be a member of the Democratic Party in Cullman County”.
