The latest entrant into Alabama’s open Republican Senate primary race took her campaign launch literally, featuring a rocket lifting off.
“I’m putting it all on the pad to send the liberal agenda into outer space where it belongs,” small businesswoman Jessica Taylor said in her launch video as she pressed a button to set off a rocket behind her.
A native of rural Alabama who grew up in a mobile home park, Taylor is the founder of a Montgomery-based grant consulting firm. She previously worked in the office of former Alabama Gov. Bob Riley.

Taylor promised to be “Kamala’s worst nightmare,” a reference to Vice President Kamala Harris.
“The Left wants to keep lying and cheating so they can steal our elections and silence our voices, indoctrinate our children, open our borders to criminals and terrorists, raise taxes to pay folks not to work and wonder why they don’t, print money until you need a mortgage to buy a 2×4, and then cancel us if we dare speak out,” she said.

Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump in the race.
