Hold on to your hats, ChumCity Citizens! Former North Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks is shaking things up. After seemingly bowing out of the 2026 race, Brooks has announced he's challenging first-term State Rep. James Lomax (R-Huntsville) in a primary showdown. Brooks, 71, says it all came down to a promise. He pledged to run if supporters coughed up $100,000 for his campaign. Apparently, they delivered! "To my utter surprise, they informed me they did it," Brooks exclaimed, adding that he's keeping his word and hopping back into the political arena. But Lomax, 34, isn't backing down. He came out swinging, calling Brooks a "political opportunist" who's accomplished "zero meaningful accomplishments" in his lengthy career. Ouch! Lomax's campaign even went as far as labeling Brooks an "anti-Trump blogger." Lomax insists he's achieved more in three years than Brooks did in decades. He accuses Brooks of "grandstanding over governance" and says his "grievance-filled, victimhood style of politics is dated and stale." Sounds like things are heating up, ChumCity! With candidate qualifying now closed, the Alabama Republican Party primary is set for May 19, 2026. Will Brooks make a comeback? Can Lomax fend off the challenge?
