The loss of property rights could start a chain reaction that quickly leads to the loss of other freedoms, and that is a road that no true patriot should ever want to travel.

I am certain that concerned taxpayers and committed conservatives will continue keeping a watchful eye on the Acceptance Academy, sounding the alarm when it crosses the line between education and indoctrination.

Alabama’s future is bright. You can see it in the jobs we are landing, the workers we are training, and the confidence employers are showing in every corner of the state.

As Congress gets to work on tax policy in 2025, I am confident that our delegation will speak up for our manufacturers and push for a tax agenda that preserves jobs and our manufacturing growth.

Our pastor reminded us in his sermon this morning that our nation is facing a crisis of sin and a problem of the heart. I am angry and sad for our country and the direction it is heading.

Alabamians are feeling a bit of relief at the grocery store checkout lines as a result of the tax cut on food that a coalition of conservative lawmakers and I pushed through the legislature during the 2023 regular session. 

With the 2024 presidential election fast approaching, the stench of politics surrounding Space Command becomes exponentially stronger with each passing day.    

Our success in cutting the grocery tax demonstrates what can be accomplished if we stay true to our conservative beliefs, build consensus among lawmakers, and have the courage to attempt to accomplish what many say can’t be done.  

There are thousands of jobs on the line, and we need to make sure that companies looking to establish manufacturing bases choose Alabama to set up shop. 

Despite rising salaries, a robust economy, and a highly competitive job market that is forcing some employers to entice new workers with signing bonuses, many Alabamians struggle financially and find themselves living paycheck to paycheck.

The best news is that we can end the sales tax on groceries without having to shift the burden or raise taxes elsewhere. Anyone who claims otherwise is simply not shooting straight with you.
