A pair of political newcomers running for state Senate have secured endorsements from Manufacture Alabama, the organization announced on Friday.

Manufacture Alabama announces its endorsement of State Rep. Rhett Marques (R-Enterprise) on Thursday to represent Alabama’s Congressional District 1.

On Wednesday, Manufacture Alabama endorsed State Sen. Jack Williams (R-Wilmer) for Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries in the upcoming 2026 election.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) recently announced several key endorsements from Alabama-based entities as the former Auburn football coach pursues the statewide office in the 2026 election cycle.

Alabama’s only manufacturing association committed to legislative, regulatory, operational and competitive interests has endorsed Caroleene Dobson in Alabama’s congressional district two race. Manufacture Alabama believes Dobson, a Montomery attorney, wife and mother of two, has what it takes to bring opportunity to the newly-drawn district.
