Martha Bozeman has announced she’ll seek the 7th Congressional District seat.

The seat is being vacated by incumbent Artur Davis, D-Birmingham, who is running for governor.

Bozeman, a Birmingham native, said, “I believe in putting people first. For too long, too many of our state’s leaders have ignored some very basic human needs. I understand why people feel voiceless and powerless, and I want to help them believe in their government again.”

Bozeman has worked in numerous political campaigns on the local, state and national levels. She also served as campaign manager for Davis.

She is a graduate of Phillips High School, the University of Montevallo and the Birmingham School of Law. She is a member of the Alabama State Bar.
