Senator Del Marsh seeking re-election

To no ones surprise, Alabama state Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh of Anniston  said Tuesday that he intends to seek re-election in 2014.  There had beenRumors around Montgomery recently that the four–term Senate leader might be ready to call it quits on Montgomery. Marsh said Tuesday that his plan is to run again.  Marsh was a major fundraiser for Republicans' successful  2010 effort to win control of the Alabama Legislature. He was elected Senate president pro tem soon after that election, taking the helm of the Senate as Republicans pushed their agenda.  During the recent legislative session, Marsh was the architect of the state’s new controversial school choice law which will give families tax credits to help transfer their children out of schools designated as failing.
