Representatives wore bow ties on the final day to celebrate the 13th annual 'Napoleon Bracy Bow Tie Day.'
'The tradition began with Representative Napoleon Bracy Jr. (D-Prichard), who is the only representative who wears bow ties every day in the State House, to encourage unity within the body and to ensure that each session concludes on an upbeat and bipartisan note,' read an Alabama House Democratic Caucus news release.
According to the release, some of the bow ties the other representatives wear belong to Bracy, who brings them to the house.

'Especially during this time when there seems to be so much political partisanship and extremism, Bow Tie Day is more important than ever,' Bracy said. 'It helps remind legislators on both sides of the aisle that we're here to serve all of the people of Alabama, regardless of their political affiliation or ideology.'
