New York, NY.., The Honorable Anthony Daniels is a former student of Alabama District CED Director Nadine Ivy (pic'd). He is also the youngest and the first African American Minority Leader in the Alabama House of Representatives (D-Huntsville). He has led the House Democratic Caucus since February 22, 2017, and is now running for Congress in the newly created 2nd Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.
In September 2023, Representative Daniels was the guest speaker when Director Nadine Ivy received the Eichelberger Award from the Alabama Conference Christian Education Department. In his remarks, he stressed the importance of the church in pushing for voting rights and standing up for what is morally and ethically right. Rep. Daniels is responsible for the expansion bills that gave local farmers opportunities for sales and product growth. He also talked about and made the congregation aware of his push for legislation to correct the state’s redistricting map, which would allow for an additional Black majority district to account for the fact that the state is 27% Black. He is a staunch believer in protecting the voices and rights of African Americans.
Representative Daniels encouraged the congregation “to continue its efforts in Christian education and its work with children and youth, for the church has a special place in the shaping and molding of young minds, and this influence should not be put aside or minimalized.” His remarks aligned perfectly with the mission of CED.
