Representing West Alabama in Montgomery!

Hey ChumCity! Just wrapped up my second legislative session representing House District 16 – that's Fayette, northern Tuscaloosa, and western Jefferson Counties, y'all! Since winning this seat in '24, I've been laser-focused on bringing more jobs, opportunity, and a better quality of life to our 48,000+ West Alabama neighbors.

Jobs, Roads, and Education!

Everything I do in Montgomery is about creating high-wage jobs, ensuring safer roads and bridges, and funding quality education for our kids. Every vote I cast reflects those commitments, and I'm proud to say the 2025 session saw the passage of conservative, common-sense policies that will move House District 16 – and Alabama – in a positive direction.

Election Integrity: Keeping it Real!

Even with the 2026 presidential dust settled, Alabama's still serious about election integrity. I was honored to sponsor House Bill 479, at the request of Secretary of State Wes Allen, kicking Alabama permanently out of the Electronic Registration Information Center System (ERIC). Why? Well, voter rolls contain super-sensitive data, and we need to know it's secure. When Sec. Allen asked ERIC simple questions about data storage and access, they clammed up. Turns out their "headquarters" was just a virtual workspace! My bill, now law, ensures Alabama can never re-enroll, protecting our elections!

Supporting Our Farmers!

Another big win this session was creating a new, affordable healthcare option for our family farms and the agriculture industry. By making healthcare more accessible and affordable, we can keep this vital industry healthy and preserve Alabama's farm tradition for generations. I also made sure to attach an amendment ensuring that no farmer could be dropped or denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition!

Local Bills, Big Impact!

Things got a little wild towards the end of the session, with a nearly 12-hour filibuster in the Senate that held up my local bills for Fayette County. These bills were crucial for the Fayette County Revenue Commissioner and Sheriff. Local bills might not be flashy, but they directly impact the people we represent!

Always Working for You!

During the 2026 session and beyond, I'll keep fighting for the values, needs, and priorities of the folks I serve. Whether it's strengthening our elections, supporting agriculture, or improving local government, I'm all about practical, principled policies that help our communities thrive.
