Auburn, AL — Over 3 million people are registered to vote in Alabama yet under 400,000 people voted for Democratic and Republican front-runners for the open Senate seat. Over 2.9 million registered voters did not cast a vote for either Democrat or Republican parties, which will face each other to represent Alabama in the United States Senate.   

With the controversy presently swirling around Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones’ out-of-the-mainstream views on abortion, Mac Watson believes Alabama voters deserve another option.  

Watson, who announced his write-in candidacy for U.S. Senate last month, urges those interested in his candidacy to reach out to him and hopes to win support to promote his word-of-mouth campaign.  

Mac Watson, an Alabama small businessman believes a third option for voters will reinvigorate the uninterested almost 3 million voters in Alabama. 

“Alabama needs new blood in politics. Simply going to the polls to ‘vote against the other guy’ is not what our great country was founded on, it is not how our forefathers wanted the power of voting to be used. We don’t need leaders in government. We need people that listen to the people that pay their salaries – citizens. Let’s do something in Alabama in December,” stated Watson. 

Watson stated his reasons for seeking election to the United States Senate in December 2017, “Politicians seek office and view their positions as guaranteed income, disregarding their constituent’s opinions and concerns until re-election. I stand firmly with the belief that a good economy is a cornerstone of a strong society. That starts with a simplified tax plan.” 

Watson also feels that security should be tightened at our southern border, improving medical care by focusing on a free market system versus government mandated options, and he believes our country needs to explore new, sustainable, energy through investment and development. 

On December 12, voters dissatisfied with both Republican and Democratic parties will have the opportunity to write in a third-party and Mac Watson hopes to be that candidate.
