He has done what he said he would do in his two terms, and that’s why every mayor in Baldwin County is standing behind State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine) for a third term, according to the campaign.
Elliott has voiced support on conservative issues such as school choice, axing DEI policies, tax cuts and the fair distribution of an education tax in Baldwin County.
“Thanks to the work of Sen. Chris Elliott, Baldwin County has tremendous influence when it comes to obtaining funding for roads, schools and other projects, so it makes no sense to abandon our influence and go to the back of the line,” said Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon.
As a former Baldwin County Commissioner and former chairman of the Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Elliott has put a spotlight on the need for transportation funds in South Alabama. Eastern Shore MPO vice chair and Daphne Mayor Robin LeJune said Elliott stays involved in important issues facing the people.
“Sen. Elliott is involved in every important conversation taking place in the Alabama State House, which means Baldwin County’s interests are being represented in every important conversation taking place in Montgomery,” LeJune stated.
All of the county’s 14 mayors signed on for Elliott to have a third term in the Alabama Senate after seeing him in meetings, luncheons, events and speaking with him during one-on-one meetings.
“Chris Elliott embodies the three things that you want in a state senator - he’s responsive, he’s reliable, and he’s relentless,” said Foley Mayor Ralph Hellmich.
“Chris puts the best interests of Baldwin County and the citizens he swore an oath to serve first, and he’s making sure our voices are heard in the committee rooms and chambers in Montgomery,” said Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft.
“Chris Elliott is the fighter we need in Montgomery securing the resources that the Eastern Shore and the rest of Baldwin County deserve,” stated Fairhope Mayor Sherry Sullivan
Perdido Beach Mayor Jimmy Street, Elberta Mayor Steve Kirkpatrick, Magnolia Springs Mayor Ross Houser, Silverhill Mayor Jared Lyles, Summerdale Mayor Randy Farris, Robertsdale Mayor Ruthie Campbell, Spanish Fort Mayor Brad Bass, Loxley Mayor Richard Teal and Bay Minette Mayor Joshua Brown also endorsed Elliott.
“I am always guided by the voices and concerns of my constituents in Baldwin County because they have more common sense than all of those bureaucrats and politicians in Montgomery combined,” Elliott responded. “Any time I am contacted by a local official, a concerned citizen, or a Baldwin County neighbor in need, it is my goal to respond immediately, resolve their issue, and ensure they have received the attention and resolution they deserve.”
