The Alabama Forestry Association (AFA) has announced its endorsement of State Sen. Dan Roberts (R-Mountain Brook) in his reelection bid to the Alabama State Senate, serving District 15.

AFA president and CEO Chris Isaacson hailed Roberts for his dedication to serving his community.

“I have known Dan and Anne for a long time and they are truly special people. Dan has done a remarkable job during his first term in the legislature, but his commitment to community service goes much further and he enriches us all with his character and leadership,” said Isaacson. “He is a successful businessman whose conservative values match those that AFA fights to preserve every day. We are proud to support him in his bid for reelection.”

The association noted that during his tenure in the legislature’s upper chamber, Roberts has focused on economic development, improving education and workforce development.

Roberts has been heavily involved in addressing the state’s tax policies. During the last session, he was the Senate sponsor for legislation that allowed pandemic-related payments received by companies to be excluded from state income taxation, and legislation allowing pass through entities to participate in the Growing Alabama tax credit. Both pieces of legislation were signed into law.

Roberts joined forces with AFA to participate in the “Lucy Meets a Logger” Book Tour, an
initiative aimed at promoting and educating elementary school students about forestry career opportunities with the goal of improving education and developing the state’s workforce.

Roberts noted his appreciation to the influential organization for their support of his reelection campaign.

“I am humbly grateful for the Forestry Association’s endorsement of my candidacy,” said
Senator Roberts. “It is a privilege to work with such a prestigious organization as we share many of the same values.”

Senate District 15 covers parts of Jefferson, Shelby and Talladega Counties. The primary election will occur on May 24, 2022.
