Roy Moore will be the Guest Speaker at Saturday’s Etowah County Republican Breakfast

The guest speaker for the Etowah County Republican Breakfast this Saturday (August 19th) will be Roy S. Moore, who will speak on his candidacy for the U.S. Senate and the run-off election coming up.

Judge Roy S. Moore graduated from Etowah High School in Attalla, Alabama, in 1965, and from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1969. He served in the U.S. Army as a company commander with the Military Police Corps in Vietnam. Judge Moore completed his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1977. During his legal career, Judge Moore became the first full-time Deputy District Attorney in Etowah County and served in this position from 1977 until 1982. In 1984, Judge Moore undertook  private practice of law in Gadsden, Alabama.

In 1992, Governor Guy Hunt appointed Judge Moore as Circuit Judge. He then won election to the state’s highest court in 2000. Most remember what happened next. He later ran unsuccessfully for Governor in 2005 and 2009. In 2012, Judge Moore was overwhelmingly re-elected by a vote of the people of Alabama as Chief Justice and took office in January of 2013. 

He was relieved again in 2016 but when then Senator Jeff Sessions took a job with the Trump Administration, he decided it was time to try and serve the people of Alabama again and qualified to run for the United States Senate.  Judge Moore led the GOP field of 10 candidates with 39% of the vote this past Tuesday and is currently in a run-off election to be held on September 26th.

The Dutch treat breakfast begins at 7:30am with the program at 8am. The meeting is held at the Western Sizzlin’ Restaurant, Rainbow City, 209 W. Grand Avenue, the third Saturday of the month.  Dutch treat, no membership, no dues, everyone is welcome
