"As most know, Democratic candidates do not receive the donations that the Republicans do and Facebook is a very important part of the campaigning process. It helps us target Alabama voters and get our message out to them consistently."

Martin's message has been about economic development, passage of the lottery, expansion of Medicaid and prison reform.
