The Electric Cooperatives of Alabama Political Action Committee endorsed Secretary of State Wes Allen for lieutenant governor on Monday.
Other qualified candidates in the GOP primary for lieutenant governor include John Wahl, Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries Rick Pate, Nicole Wadsworth, Dean Odle, Dr. Stewart Tankersley and Pat Bishop.
“Wes Allen brings a level of discipline and work ethic that stands out in state government,” said Karl Rayborn, CEO of the Alabama Rural Electric Association of Cooperatives. “He understands how sound policy decisions affect critical infrastructure like electric cooperatives, and we are confident he will continue to work tirelessly to support reliable service and responsible governance across Alabama.”
Current Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth is term-limited from seeking re-election.
Allen said, “Living in rural Alabama, I know how important Alabama’s electric cooperatives are in keeping the power on.”
“They provide the critical infrastructure that allows our state to prosper. They work hard to deliver energy to our homes, businesses and farms, braving terrible weather and dangerous circumstances to keep Alabamians connected. I am grateful for their support,” Allen said.
