Alabama House of Representatives
Tenure
Boman was elected to the state house as a Republican in the massive Republican wave that swept through the state in the 2010 elections, one which saw the Republicans take complete control of state government for the first time since Reconstruction. He defeated incumbent Democrat William Thigpen 54%-46%.[1] He attracted national attention in May 2011 when he switched parties and became a Democrat in protest of Republican support for an education bill.[2] Opponents of the bill argued that it was unfair to teachers facing firing or other adverse action.[3] In explaining his decision, Boman said: "During this current session I have seen this legislative body pass bills that I feel adversely affect what my people back home want, need, and deserve…I will never choose the Party over the people again."[4]
