A Changing of the Guard in the Tennessee Valley

Next year, the Tennessee Valley bids farewell to State Senator Tom Butler, a true legislative mainstay. After decades of dedicated service in both the Alabama House and Senate, he's chosen to step down and close this chapter.

A Legacy of Service

Butler, a pharmacist by trade, remained closely connected to the community he served so well. His commitment spanned 35 years. Though initially a Democrat, his conservative leanings led him to join the Republican Party almost 15 years ago.

Huntsville at a Crossroads

Senator Butler's departure arrives at a pivotal moment. Huntsville, now Alabama's largest city, is on the cusp of even more explosive growth. U.S. Space Command Headquarters and the expanding FBI presence at Redstone Arsenal promise a dynamic future, building upon our robust tech, aerospace, and research sectors.

Senate District 2, encompassing portions of Limestone and Madison Counties (Alabama's fastest and third-fastest growing, respectively), stands at the heart of this growth. The right successor is crucial.

Why John Roberts?

I firmly believe John Roberts is the ideal choice to fill Senator Butler's seat.

A Man Who Knows the Valley

Roberts, former director of Business Retention & Expansion for the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber, possesses invaluable insight into our community's needs. His expertise will be vital in navigating our area's ongoing growth. As Real Estate & Development Manager for Freedom Real Estate & Capital, LLC and with his past involvement with the Huntsville Madison Home Builders Association, he understands the challenges facing both commercial and residential markets. He'll ensure North Alabama's smart and balanced growth.

An Effective Advocate

In a state assured of a GOP legislative supermajority, Roberts will be an effective advocate for vital infrastructure funding. He'll champion road and bridge improvements needed to keep pace with our booming population. He'll also secure crucial education funding, school construction dollars, and other resources to support our growing community.

Shared Values

On social issues, Roberts shares the commonsense conservative values cherished by most Alabamians. He'll champion the core principles that define our state and the Tennessee Valley.

Restoring a Landmark

Finally, he'll prioritize the replacement of the Saturn 1-B rocket at the Ardmore welcome center, restoring this beloved landmark and ensuring interstate travelers recognize they're entering a truly unique place.

The Right Man, The Right Time

John Roberts is the perfect candidate for State Senate – dedicated to making our community an even better place to live, work, and raise our families.
