The Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama (P&CMA) endorsed Secretary of State Wes Allen on Monday in his campaign to become Alabama’s next lieutenant governor.
P&CMA, which represents hundreds of small business owners in the state’s petroleum and convenience marketing industry, complimented Allen’s “strong pro-small business record and advocacy for job creation during his time in the legislature and as Alabama’s Secretary of State.”
“Wes Allen has proven time and time again that he is a leader that gets results,” Rex Jones, chairman of the P&CMA Board of Directors, said. “It is vital to elect public servants who are able to tackle complex problems head on and stand firm to promote economic development and protect Alabama’s energy sector while fighting for the small businesses that serve as our state’s economic engine.”
In response to the endorsement, Allen said, “I am honored to receive the support of the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama and the thousands of hardworking men and women that P&CMA represents.”
“Supporting energy independence and standing strong for small businesses have always been priorities of mine and will continue to be when I am elected as Alabama’s next Lt. Governor,” he added.
