| Description | MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks kicked off a Democratic campaign for governor Friday, promising to focus on rural development and endorsing a statewide referendum on the "Sweet Home Alabama" gambling bill.
Sparks, 56, grew up in Fort Payne, a northeast Alabama town that has seen some of its sock mills close and jobs migrate overseas. Sparks said his goal as governor would be to help rural Alabama land new jobs.
"The only way that we are going to rebuild rural America is with alternative fuels, and in Alabama we can do that," he said. |
