MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's entry into the U.S. Senate race adds another layer of drama to what's already expected to be a rollicking special election to fill the seat previously held by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The fiery Republican jurist's stands against gay marriage and for a courthouse display of the Ten Commandments have earned him the nickname the "Ayatollah of Alabama" from the Southern Poverty Law Center - and legions of loyal followers across the country. Moore announced his candidacy among the swelling GOP field Wednesday in what is expected to be a cutthroat primary.
"My position has always been God first, family, then country. I think I share the vision of President Donald Trump to make America great again. You know, before we can make America great again, we have got to make America good again," the 70-year old jurist said in his campaign announcement on the steps of the Alabama Capitol.
