Dr Candice Duvieilh: The Democrat Alabama Has Been Waiting For

In this episode of He's Not Wrong, I sit down with Dr Candice Duvieilh, a Democratic candidate running to represent Alabama’s 5th Congressional District. Our conversation explores the personal, political, and strategic foundations of her campaign, beginning with the social media connection that first brought us together and a shared moment at a Kamala Harris event in Birmingham. Candice talks about what drove her to run, how her background in public administration shapes her approach, and why she refuses to engage in intra-party attacks even as she draws sharp contrasts between Democratic priorities and the challenges facing Alabama.

We dig into the district’s most pressing issues, from the pressures of rapid population growth in Huntsville to inadequate infrastructure planning, strained public services, and the fallout of NASA funding cuts. Candice outlines her vision for sustainable development, improved public transportation, and revitalized rural communities, as well as her commitment to listening directly to the people most affected by these challenges.

The episode also takes a deep dive into healthcare, with Candice walking through her detailed plan to cap medical costs, strengthen the Affordable Care Act, and ultimately build toward universal government-backed coverage. She explains why this approach is both financially feasible and urgently needed for families across Alabama. I highlight how these policy proposals address long-standing voter concerns that too often go unacknowledged by statewide candidates.

We also go into her grassroots-first campaign strategy: replacing traditional political networking with community organizing, direct engagement, and social media outreach designed to activate voters who feel overlooked. Finally, we discuss the Alabama Department of Corrections, the need for federal attention, and how systemic failures within the state continue to harm the most vulnerable residents.

This conversation is a clear window into what’s at stake for Alabama’s 5th District and why candidates like Candice are reshaping what political leadership can look like in the Deep South.
