Madison County Commission Chairman Mac McCutcheon will be retiring in March.
In an email sent on Tuesday, the former Alabama Speaker of the House said the decision was related to personal health issues and was made after much thought and prayer.
“Reflecting on my journey, I'm overwhelmed with a sense of pride and fulfillment from the challenges we overcame to the triumphs we celebrated,” wrote McCutcheon in a letter released after the email. “Every moment has been invaluable. My career has been more than a job. It has been a significant part of my life story, enriched by the incredible people that I've had the honor to serve.”
“Thank you for your support and guidance. I am sincerely grateful for your friendship,” added McCutcheon.
McCutcheon became Madison County Commission chairman after being appointed by Governor Kay Ivey on January 31, 2023, following U.S. Rep. Dale Strong's (R-Huntsville) election to Congress. He was later elected to his first full term in November 2024.
McCutcheon's retirement is effective March 1, 2026.
