Wayne Sowell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wayne Sowell was the Democratic candidate for Alabama in the U.S. Senate election of 2004.

Sowell won 33 percent of the vote, but was a relative long-shot against opponent Richard C. Shelby, who won his fourth consecutive term for the Republicans with 67 percent. One of Sowell's controversial tenets is the legalization of marijuana. His wife, Dr. Marietta Cameron, is a computer science teacher at the prominent Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama.
