Daniel Boman

Daniel Boman is a member of the Alabama House of Representatives, representing the 16th District. He attracted national attention in May 2011 when he switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party in protest of Republican support for an education bill.^[1] Opponents of the bill argued that it was unfair to teachers facing firing or other adverse action.^[2] In explaining his decision, Boman said: "During this current session I have seen this legislative body pass bills that I feel adversely affect what my people back home want, need, and deserve…I will never choose the Party over the people again."^[3]
