W. 'Gene' E. Alday, Jr. (August 17, 1957 – October 9, 2016) was an American Republican politician. He was a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives from the 25th District, being first elected in 2011, leaving office in 2016 after being defeated in the Republican primary by Dan Eubanks.[1][2]
In February 2015, Alday stated that he opposed increasing funding for education, because in his town, "all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks'."[3][4]
Alday died at the DeSoto South Hospice in Southaven after an extended illness on October 9, 2016.[5]
