In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I mean, you know, I owned a small business for 24 years. I raised two great daughters with my wife Christina of 32 years. We raised two great daughters there. And I'm very proud of what we did in the Wiregrass as a legislator and as a business owner and as a family man.”

“[W]e cut taxes here in Alabama by $1.5 billion. They passed the working family tax cut in Washington, the biggest in American history. We passed the biggest one in Alabama history with half the grocery tax. And we can keep doing that. You passed the bill. I was a co-sponsor, on keeping boys out of girls sports, keeping boys out of girls locker rooms.”
