Alabama Politics
The Alabama 2026 election cycle is ramping up.
We’re playing musical chairs at the Executive level here in the state and every Representative and Senate will be up for re-election in November of 2026.
We’ve had few from both Chambers that announced their intentions to run for re-election, and we’ve had a few that are stepping away from the political scene.
On today’s show, I will be speaking with Micah Messer who is running for HD38 which is being vacated by Representative Debbie Wood.
Micah Messer was born and raised in Dothan, Alabama where he was homeschooled for ten years before attending Emmanuel Christian School for his final two years. After high school, he attended the University of South Alabama where he studied Computer and Information Systems with a minor in Military Science. He served on the Student Government Association as a Senator for two years and one year as the Chief Justice. Messer also served as the President of the Ratio Christi chapter at South Alabama, a Christian apologetics organization. He was a member of the College Conservatives, Students for Concealed Carry, and Students for Life, all while completing Senior ROTC throughout his time at South Alabama.
Upon graduation, Mr. Messer was commissioned in the Alabama Army National Guard as a 2nd Lieutenant and continues to serve the people of Alabama as the Communications Staff Officer for the 731st CSSB. Throughout his career in the Alabama Army National Guard, he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant, served as the Acting Commander for his Signal Company for almost a year, was a Line-of-Duty Investigation Officer, served as an assistant J6 (Joint Communications Officer) at Joint-Force Headquarters during the pandemic where he received the Air Force Commendation Medal, and was the Information Service Support Supervisor for the Alabama Army National Guard from November 2024 until June 2025. Mr. Messer is an active member of the American Legion.
Mr. Messer is married to his beautiful wife, Jessica, and together they own a husky mix named, “Captain”. Mr. Messer currently attends MidTree Church where he serves on the audio/visual team and attends a small group. Jessica serves on the Worship Team.
Mr. Messer currently runs two small businesses, one for wedding videography called M. Messer TV and one for I.T. services called Messer Technologies.
