A former Mobile, Alabama County Commissioner who is serving a two-year jail sentence for perjury and harassment is considering launching a bid for the state’s 1st Congressional District.
“I know some will be skeptical of my interest in this congressional race after wrongfully being accused of crimes, drug abuse and personal mistakes,” said Stephen Nodine, a Republican, as quoted by the Alabama Media Group. “I have the determination, the experience and fortitude to serve as congressman for the 1st Congressional District.”
Nodine resigned from the county commission in 2010 after an indictment in the murder of his longtime mistress. Prosecutors eventually dropped the murder charge in a plea deal, when Nodine eventually pled guilty to felony perjury in 2012.
