Bob Vance Judge

Vance clerked for Judge Thomas Gibbs Gee on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit before starting work at the Birmingham law firm Johnston, Barton, Proctor, and Powell as a litigator.

Vance was first appointed to the bench to serve out the term of Judge Art Hanes in 2002 and subsequently elected to a full term. He was reelected in 2010, without opposition.

In 2006, in Gooden v. Worley, a case that challenged the Alabama law that removed the right to vote from those convicted of felonies of moral turpitude, Vance ordered the state of Alabama to allow ex-felons to vote, holding that the law failed to identify the crimes that fit the definition. Vance was reversed on appeal to the Supreme Court of Alabama.

Bob Vance Alabama

Vance ran unsuccessfully for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama in 2012. He reluctantly entered the race in August 2012, after the former Democratic candidate Harry Lyon was disqualified from the ballot in large part due to erratic behavior and rants against gays and lesbians.

His opponent was former Chief Justice Roy Moore, who had previously been removed from the bench for failing to follow an order from the federal district court to remove a religious monument he had installed in the rotunda of the Heflin-Torbert Judicial Building. At the time Vance entered the race, there were no statewide elected Democrats in the state of Alabama.

Despite low expectations, Vance was barely defeated by Roy Moore in the general election on November 6, receiving 48.23% of the vote. Vance is the Democratic nominee for Chief Justice in 2018.

Bob Vance Tom Parker

Tom Parker went on to defeat the Democratic nominee, Circuit Judge Bob, in the general election on November 6, 2018. The campaign was marked by negative television advertising in which Parker’s campaign ran ads accusing Vance (who was supported by a moderate coalition) of being backed by “leftist billionaires” and in which Vance’s campaign ran ads saying that Parker was “another Roy Moore” who would bring more “chaos and controversy” to Alabama. Parker was sworn in as Chief Justice of Alabama on January 11, 2019.
