Dale Peterson (born 1945 in Mobile, Alabama) is a Republican politician, who unsuccessfully ran for Alabama Agriculture Commissioner, losing in the June 2010 Republican party primaries. His campaign has gained fame for his opinionated, "straight-shooting" commercials. His internet popularity translated into votes, as he went from polling at 5% before the video, to 27% in the primary. This was behind Dorman Grace with 35% of the vote and victor John McMillan's 38% of the vote. On June 17, 2010, Peterson produced a new ad which endorsed his previous primary rival John McMillan. Dale moved to Birmingham when he was eight years old. He joined the Marine Corps in 1963, returning to Birmingham in 1967, where he became a police officer. He graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology in 1971. Following graduation, he held several different marketing and production positions with a national industrial laundry chain. |
