Karla DuPriest said her faith led her to run for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District.
“Initially I had a call from our Father God to represent the people of District 2,” DuPriest said. “To help our children, help our small businesses, our homeless and disadvantaged military people, our military people who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.”
DuPriest, an entrepreneur who operates a family catering business, is one of 19 candidates — and one of eight Republicans — vying to represent the redrawn district.
