Five Points Mayor Jeff Monroe announced on Monday that he is running for the Republican nomination for Alabama House District 37 in 2026.
The district includes all of Randolph County, portions of Chambers County, including LaFayette, as well as parts of Opelika and unincorporated Lee County.
“I am proud and excited to announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for House District 37,” Monroe said in a statement on Tuesday. “My entire career has been devoted to serving the public—whether through emergency response, community safety, or local government leadership.”
State Rep. Bob Fincher (R-Woodland) announced recently he wasn’t running for re-election to his House District 37 seat.
“Throughout my 45 years as a firefighter and paramedic, I’ve worked in both rural and urban communities,” Monroe said. “And what I’ve seen firsthand is that, no matter where people live, they share the same basic hopes and needs:
— To feel safe in their community
— To prepare their children for future success
— To have job opportunities that allow them to support their family.”
Monroe and his wife, Cindy, have lived in Chambers County since 2001. They are the proud parents of Carlie Tubbs Price and Emile Monroe Milam, sons-in-law Nick Price and Brandon Milam, and grandparents to Emma and Leigha Anthony, Cooper, Marli, and Sophie Price, and Sarah, Jace, and John Milam. The Monroes attend Church of the Highlands in Opelika.
“If elected, I will work tirelessly to represent the people of House District 37 with honesty, transparency, and accountability,” Monroe said. “My goal is to improve the quality of life for every family in our district—and I humbly ask for your support and your prayers as we begin this journey together.”
Over the next month, Jeff will be hosting a campaign kick-off in Chambers, Randolph, and Lee Counties.
