Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports higher taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations, including closing loopholes and enforcing a corporate minimum tax, with the revenue used to expand public investments in education, healthcare, housing, and related programs.

Strongly supports federal codification of abortion access as health care.

Immigration & Border
Supports immigration reform that expands legal pathways and creates a pathway to citizenship, emphasizes due process and humane treatment for immigrants, and opposes aggressive enforcement practices. Advocates improving the legal immigration system to better support family and economic immigration while regularizing long-term undocumented residents.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate explicitly supports full reproductive freedom, including access to abortion, birth control, and maternal care and says access to abortion should be codified at the federal level. He opposes Alabama’s restrictive reproductive-health policies and frames abortion as healthcare and lifesaving care in some instances.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate emphasizes public safety through a mix of stronger support for local police funding and investments in mental‑health and addiction services, victim support, and youth prevention programs. No clear public position on specific firearm policies (e.g., background checks, assault weapons bans, red flag laws, or constitutional carry) was found in the cited materials.
News
Jeremy Devito is running in the Democratic primary for Alabama’s 5th Congressional District, where he is one of the candidates challenging for the chance to face Republican incumbent Dale Strong. The race has drawn attention as Democrats try to compete in a district where Strong has held a large fundraising advantage. The broader Alabama primary season is also being shaped by court-ordered redistricting changes that have delayed some House contests to August.
