Wall of Shame — Today: Alabama Peanut Producers
Today on the Wall of Shame: the Alabama Peanut Producers PAC (Dothan) has put $5,000 into Rep. Shomari Figures' campaign account. Figures then voted no on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — the same ag and tax package Wiregrass peanut farmers benefit from. The Wall of Shame exists for one reason — so that total stops growing. https://take2back.com/wall-of-shame.html
He Voted Against Tax Relief on Tips and Overtime
When the House passed the tax-cut bill that ended federal taxes on tips and overtime, Figures voted no. Every waitress in Dothan, every mechanic in Enterprise, every line worker pulling a double shift got that relief — over Figures's objection.
He Voted Against American Energy, Again and Again
Against unlocking LNG exports. Against fast-tracking reliable natural-gas power. Against reversing the Biden administration's lock-ups on coal, oil, and gas leasing. In a district that feels every jump in the power bill, Figures sided with the Washington environmental lobby over the Wiregrass — vote after vote.
He Voted Against Proof of Citizenship to Vote
When the House took up the SAVE Act — requiring you to show you are an American citizen before registering to vote in a federal election — Figures voted no.
He Voted to Keep Communist China's Money in Your Kids' Schools
Three separate times, when the House moved to block Chinese Communist Party funding and influence in K-12 classrooms and to tell parents about it, Figures voted no.
A 14 Percent Record in a Trump+14 District
This is not a moderate who occasionally strays. A limited-government scorecard rates Figures's 2025 record at 14 percent — the voting card of a Washington liberal, not a Wiregrass moderate. It is a national-Democrat record with a District 2 return address.
America's 250th — Where Was Figures?
While President Trump led the country in marking its 250th birthday, Figures's own party spent the run-up attacking the celebration — Senate Democrats probing the Freedom250 effort, and a House Democrat charging the administration was trying to "hijack" the anniversary. That is the party Figures votes with. That is the party pouring money into holding this seat.
This Seat Is Winnable
National Democrats put Figures on their "Frontline" list, reserved for their most endangered members, because a Trump+14 district has no business sending this voting record to Washington. The only thing between Shomari Figures and a one-term career is turnout. August 11 sets the Republican nominee. November ends the experiment. Take Back District 2.
