Running (and Walking) for Office Giles G. Perkins ’92L (checkered shirt), a candidate for attorney general in Alabama, launched his campaign in an unusual way—he joined marchers on the 51-mile walk between Selma and Montgomery to re-create the voting rights march 45 years earlier. Perkins, executive director of the Alabama Democratic Party from 1997 to 1998, said in an interview with the Montgomery Advertiser, “Being out there has given me a real sense of what people need in an attorney general.” He observed that the office is less about the people who can afford expensive lawyers to represent them, and more about those who cannot. During the trek to Montgomery, Perkins developed a better understanding of the issues folks face every day. He said people talked about safety issues—particularly gangs—and their concerns over garbage from other states being dumped into their community. “The law is a powerful tool,” he said. “The charge to the attorney general is so broad, you can get involved in any number of conversations if you're willing to. I am willing to use that tool for what’s right.” Follow Giles’ candidacy on his campaign Web site, perkinsforalabama.com, or on his Facebook fan page.
