Upset in District 95? Incumbent Faces Stiff Challenge!

It's not every day you see big-city mayors openly backing a challenger against a sitting legislator, but that's exactly what's shaking up House District 95! Gulf Shores business owner Joe Freeman is taking on State Rep. Francis Holk-Jones (R-Foley), and he's got some heavy hitters in his corner.

Mayoral Support & ALFA's Backing!

Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon is publicly endorsing Freeman, making a splash with his support. But the backing doesn't stop there! Freeman also snagged a major endorsement from the Alabama Farmers Federation (ALFA).

What ALFA Says

Hope Cassebaum, president of the Baldwin County Farmers Federation, praised Freeman as a "conservative businessman" who gets the importance of agriculture and business in Baldwin County. Cassebaum believes Freeman will be a strong voice for farmers, business owners, and everyone in District 95.

Freeman's Background

Freeman, a University of South Alabama and Faulkner University alum, brings a diverse background to the table, including 10 years as a Registered Investment Advisor, following a previous career in law enforcement.

Freeman's Reaction

"Having the endorsement of our farmers is a great honor," said Freeman. "We share the same work ethic and common-sense conservative values."

Family & Faith

Freeman and his wife, Mignon, live in Gulf Shores with their six children and are active members of The Island Church in Orange Beach.

ALFA's Power

The Alabama Farmers Federation, with over 360,000 member families, is a force to be reckoned with. Their grassroots approach and county FarmPAC endorsements make them a crucial voice in local elections.

The Road Ahead

Mark your calendars! The Republican primary is set for May 19, 2026. While the district leans heavily Republican, the winner will potentially face a Democrat in November.
