STEM and workforce pathways that match North Alabama jobs

In North Alabama, education is how we prepare the next generation to build, serve, and lead right here at home.

Candice’s focus is simple: connect strong schools to real opportunity through STEM and workforce pathways that reflect the jobs that power our district.

She will:
• Expand STEM learning and career pathways tied to in-demand local industries
• Strengthen workforce training and local opportunity so students can graduate into good careers
• Invest in rural schools so communities stay viable and families can thrive

Reliable care close to home, including VA access and rural clinics

Healthcare has to work in real life for North Alabama, including veterans relying on the VA system and rural communities that need clinics and access close to home.

She will:
• Reduce delays by supporting telehealth and staffing solutions
• Strengthen rural healthcare access so small towns are not left behind
• Support mental health resources for veterans, families, and communities

America’s Security Starts Here

North Alabama stands at the center of America’s defense and space leadership. The scientists, soldiers, engineers, and support professionals at Redstone Arsenal and Marshall Space Flight Center help keep our nation safe while driving innovation and economic growth.

Candice Duvieilh believes Congress must be a reliable partner to the workers and families who carry out this mission every day.

She will:
• Support stable and responsible defense funding that protects local jobs
• Strengthen partnerships between military installations and surrounding communities
• Expand STEM education and workforce pipelines connected to aerospace and defense careers
• Ensure strong oversight so taxpayer dollars are used efficiently and responsibly

National security and fiscal accountability go hand in hand.

Service Deserves Support, Not Delays

North Alabama is home to thousands of veterans and active-duty families whose service continues long after they leave uniform.

Candice believes honoring service means delivering real results.

She will:
• Reduce VA healthcare wait times through expanded telehealth and staffing solutions
• Improve transition programs connecting veterans to civilian careers
• Expand mental health and PTSD resources
• Support veteran-owned small businesses
• Protect earned benefits from political gridlock

Those who served our country should never have to fight for basic care or opportunity.

Strong Farms. Strong Communities. Strong America.

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of North Alabama’s economy and heritage. Family farms and rural towns sustain our region and feed the nation.

Candice will work to ensure rural communities thrive in the modern economy.

She will:
• Protect farmers from unstable trade policies
• Expand rural broadband access
• Support local food systems and small producers
• Strengthen crop insurance and disaster assistance programs
• Invest in rural healthcare and education infrastructure

When rural Alabama succeeds, America succeeds.
