Case Dixon Launches Congressional Campaign in Alabama
Case Dixon, a 26-year-old physiotherapist assistant from McCalla, Alabama, has announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in the Alabama 6th Congressional District. Running as a Republican, he aims to unseat Congressman Gary Palmer, who has held his position since 2015.
Dixon was born in Alabaster and raised in Malen and McCalla. He was homeschooled alongside four brothers, which he credits for instilling strong values rooted in faith and family. He participated in a homeschool athletic program where he played varsity basketball in Pelham and pursued a career in healthcare after completing high school. Since 2021, he has been working as an assistant to a licensed physiotherapist, gaining experience in outpatient and home health settings in the Birmingham area.
Per his campaign website, Dixon felt a strong calling for civic engagement during the Covid-19 pandemic. He described the government’s response as marked by “terrifying surveillance, censorship, and hypocrisy,” prompting him to address what he sees as systemic issues and to take on a political role.
Dixon’s platform includes several key focuses:
- Ethics reform: He advocates for term limits for Congress, a ban on individual stock trading by lawmakers and their families, and stricter rules regarding Leadership PACs.
- Fiscal Policy: Dixon stresses the importance of reducing national debt and limiting federal spending, warning that increasing deficits could threaten future economic stability and essential programs like Medicare and Social Security.
- Healthcare Access: He supports expanding telehealth services, home visits, deregulation to enhance competition, and greater authority for nurses, particularly in rural areas that are underserved.
His campaign aims to highlight generational contrasts within the Republican primary, calling for new leadership. As the race begins to take shape leading up to 2026, voters in District 6 will need to choose between seasoned incumbents and younger challengers like Dixon, who propose fresh alternatives.
