The Home Builders Association of Alabama on Thursday endorsed State Rep. Rhett Marques (R-Enterprise) in the special election for Congressional District 2.
The special Republican primary for Alabama's CD-2 will be held on August 11.
"We are proud to endorse Rhett Marques for Alabama's Second Congressional District," Home Builders Association of Alabama first vice president Jim Mathews said. "Rhett is a proven fighter for all Alabamians. We are confident that his leadership will help roll back unnecessary and burdensome regulations and, in doing so, will help make the American dream of homeownership a reality for all."
During his time in the Alabama Legislature, Marques cut more than $1.5 billion in taxes and fought to slash unnecessary government regulations that delay construction and drive up costs, according to the Home Builders Association of Alabama.
"I'm honored to have the support of the Home Builders Association of Alabama," Marques said. "Owning a home is part of the American Dream. As Alabama's next Congressman, I'll take Alabama common sense to Washington to lower costs and get government out of the way so builders can build and more hardworking families can afford a home."
