It has always been said that it is hard for the business community to support a Democrat. Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks spoke to the Demopolis Chamber of Commerce on February 4th during their annual banquet. So what did the popular democrat from Ft. Payne speak about? Commissioner Sparks stayed on message talking about alternative energy, better trade policies, how we can fight childhood obesity, the decline of farmers and the incentives needed to keep farmers in Alabama. Sparks stayed on message and did so without pandering to the business community like other ambitious Democrats that I know.
