Alabama State Rep. Boman switches to Democratic Party

MONTGOMERY | State Rep. Daniel Boman, who represents part of Tuscaloosa County, switched to the Democratic party today.

Boman, a 36-year-old lawyer from Sulligent, said Wednesday�s vote on a bill to change the state�s tenure and fair dismissal laws for educators convinced him he was in the wrong party.

Boman, elected as a Republican last November, voted against the tenure and fair dismissal bill that Democrats said removes much of the due process for teachers facing discipline or firing.

His district includes Fayette and Lamar counties and a slice of northwest Tuscaloosa County.

1. I'm both suprised and happy to see this

I didn't expect to see anything like this happen in the deep south for a long time. Good for him to take that stand on worker rights.
