Maddox asks Ivey: Why start race with Confederate monuments?

Democrat Walt Maddox said in Huntsville Thursday night that he knows what he will ask Gov. Kay Ivey if he gets her on a debate stage.

"Why did you begin your campaign talking about Confederate monuments?" Maddox said in an appearance at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. "You've just told 26 percent of Alabama, 'I'm not working for you.'"

Maddox also hit Ivey again for refusing to debate. "For those who say it makes good political sense, well that is not leadership," Maddox said.
