Patricia Todd Becomes First Open GLBT State Legislator in Alabama History

Patricia Todd, who is running in Alabama's District 54, emerged victorious in her primary. Her district has the highest percentage of gay voters in the state and has a large D edge. A victory in the general is virtually guaranteed. She will be the first, in Alabama history, to be openly gay and serving in the Alabama Legislature.
