Margaret Kates writes: “A slate of council candidates endorsed by conservative political activists concerned about Fairhope, Alabama’s library was largely defeated during Tuesday night’s election. Only one of the candidates endorsed by conservative activist and former chapter president of Moms for Liberty Rebecca Watson won their race. While the rest of the county’s elections have largely centered around steep population growth and managing the ensuing development, Fairhope’s election was primarily based on the library controversy that has plagued the town for nearly a year.”
