Issue Position: Removing Tax on Groceries

Issue Position

The state tax on groceries disproportionately burdens Alabama's working class families and those living at or below the poverty line. Food insecurity affects far too many of our neighbors, friends, family members, and their children. No person in this state should have to choose between paying for necessities like utilities or prescription medication and purchasing food for a family meal. Alabama Democrats believe that we have a duty and a moral obligation to make it easier for families to put healthy, nutritious food on their tables by removing this tax.
