Alabama has worked too hard to develop our automotive manufacturing industry to see it suffer the same fate as Michigan’s.
We’re growing like never before, and for that to continue, we must keep the UAW out of our state.
Speaker of the House @RepLedbetter: ”When the UAW shows up at production facilities to give its sales pitch, I’m sure this part is left out: Multiple generations of UAW leaders have a proven history of stealing from members.” #alpolitics

It’s heartbreaking to hear that two of our Huntsville police officers were shot in the line of duty today. Please join me in prayer for those officers and their families. These officers are our everyday heroes, and we should never take their service for granted. @HsvPolice
Two HPD officers were shot in the line of duty this evening. Both have been transported to Huntsville Hospital with life threatening injuries.
Our hearts are shattered. Please send every prayer you have to the officers, their families, and the Huntsville Police Department.

After beating out Colorado Springs as the best place to live, it’s no question why Huntsville finished first in the Air Force’s evaluation. It’s time for Space Command to come home to Alabama.
The simple fact is that Colorado finished 4th in the Air Force’s evaluation phase and 5th in the selection phase for Space Command HQ.
