FORT PAYNE, Ala. — Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will make a campaign stop on Friday, December 20 in Fort Payne.

Sessions, who is seeking election to the U.S. Senate seat he previously held from 1997 to 2017, will be the speaker at an afternoon meeting of the DeKalb County Republican Party.

The event will be held in the meeting room of Fort Payne's Western Sizzlin', where the DeKalb County Republican Breakfast Club meetings are usually held. According to DeKalb County Republican Party Chairman David Gulledge, Sessions will arrive anywhere from 11:30am to 1pm, due to a busy schedule involving stops in Decatur and southern Alabama that same day.

UPDATED: Due to a scheduling change, the former Senator will have to catch a flight out of Huntsville so he will be arriving 30 minutes earlier and leaving earlier than first announced. He will be in DeKalb County from 11am till 12:20pm.
