Publisher Diane Campbell announces run for House District 65 at county meeting
Summary
Publisher and community‑development leader Diane Campbell of Choctaw County told the Baldwin County Commission she intends to seek the House District 65 seat in the Republican primary, citing experience in rural economic and workforce development.
Diane Campbell, a publisher and community‑development volunteer from Choctaw County, announced during public comments at the Baldwin County Commission meeting on May 6 that she will run in the Republican primary for Alabama House District 65.
Campbell described her background as publisher of the Choctaw Sun Advocate and co‑publisher of a neighboring county paper, work spanning about 25 years covering local government and community issues. She said she has been involved in workforce development, volunteer fire and rescue fundraising, 9‑1‑1 board service, United Way leadership and community economic development. Campbell said she earned STAR certification in rural economic development through the Alabama Department of Commerce.
Why it matters: Campbell told commissioners she will be a hands‑on representative who attends events across the district and advocates for rural workforce and community development. She asked for support and said she plans to run in the Republican primary in May (primary month referenced by speaker).
Commissioners thanked her for the announcement and wished her luck; no formal county action is associated with candidate announcements during public comment.
