I know how important it is for people to be treated equally under the law. An Agee courtroom will be a level playing field for everybody. An impartial judiciary is the backbone of our democracy. I pledge to apply the law fairly and correctly in every single case, every single time. This will promote mutual respect among people and help to make all of our communities safer, healthier, and more peaceful places to live. It has been said and it is true, that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. I am Monica Agee, I'm running for justice, I'm running for you. On November 8, 2022, let me be the one you give your vote to. 

Thank you,

Monica Agee

        Monica Agee was born on January 5, 1962, in Youngstown, Ohio, the first of four children born to parents, Amy Agee (Anderson) and Hosea Agee Jr. Shortly thereafter, the family returned to Birmingham, Alabama, during the turbulent times of the Civil Rights Era. Having witnessed many of the injustices and atrocities perpetrated against people of color, including the brutal bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in 1963, the family moved to Gary, Indiana then to Cincinnati, Ohio and later back to Birmingham, Alabama. After graduating Ensley High School in 1979 at the age of seventeen, she enlisted in the United States Air Force, where she served honorably as a Law Enforcement Officer and Military Working Dog Handler/Trainer. Agee received the Bachelor of Science Degree from The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Business, with a major in Quantitative Analysis in 1990. Having become interested in law and justice at young age, she enrolled in The Birmingham School of Law and received the degree of Juris Doctor in 1999, and received authorization to practice law from the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama in the year 2000. Following her admission into the Alabama State Bar Association, she immediately began the practice of law as a Solo Practitioner. She has represented hundreds of clients and their families in the federal, state, and municipal courts in Alabama, in civil and criminal matters. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Agee worked for various major corporations some of which were Central Bank of the South, Big B Drugs, Vulcan Products Inc. and The Berry Company. She worked in health care research at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Brookwood Hospital. She worked in government at the U. S. Department of Commerce, the Jefferson County Personnel Board, and the Birmingham Board of Education. She worked for nonprofit charitable organizations such as PTL COGIC Day Care and School and the Alabama Thrift Store. She is also a veteran of the United States Air Force. Agee has acquired vast knowledge and experience in many different areas and worked at all organizational levels from entry level to upper management, in areas from sales to research, from security to banking, from retail to sanitation, from education to law. This wide frame of reference has trained her to be open minded, impartial, and unbiased, patiently able to evaluate every angle of an issue and then apply the law without fear or favor. Her diversified background has uniquely prepared her for the office of Circuit Court Judge. She is able to listen to understand absorb and analyze complex information objectively, without the interference of personal bias. Integrity is everything to Monica Agee. Growing up in the Agee household, public service, civic responsibility, and volunteerism was emphasized and required of all family members. Agee has a history of serving the poor and disenfranchised. She began as a child with her parents in Gary, Indiana with Operation Bread Basket under the leadership of the Reverend Doctor Jesse Jackson, and with Essence Inc. under the leadership of her father, Reverend Hosea Jr. She has remained actively involved in aiding those in need throughout her adult life. She has been a card-carrying active volunteer for the American Red Cross disaster services, Toys for Tots, The Minority Women’s Network, Birmingham Volunteer Lawyers Program, Alabama State Volunteer Lawyers Program and the Alabama State Bar Pro Bono and Public Service Committee. She has done everything from feeding the hungry to tutoring adults and children, from providing clothing to the poor, to neighborhood cleanups, from finding jobs for ex-convicts to providing low to no cost childcare for single parents, from locating housing and social services for the disadvantaged to providing low cost and pro bono legal services to those most vulnerable among us. She finds no service is too menial, never giving to be seen, neither seeking public recognition, but always lending a helping hand to those in need. A divorced mother of four adult children and grandmother of four, Agee’s life experiences have made her keenly aware of the intricacies and delicate nature of disputes between parties. She has developed the temperament to respect all sides of a controversy while working toward arriving at the legally correct outcome. Accountability, responsibility, impartiality, integrity, competence and independence are the values and attributes that Agee will carry with her to bench. She has the courage to follow the truth wherever it leads. She will ensure due process of law, stand against injustice, walk in integrity, and preside without prejudice.
