Encouraging and promoting the active engagement of church members in voting is a legitimate goal. One effective strategy to achieve this is by dedicating a designated Sunday, known as “Voter Registration Sunday,” to encourage the registration of voters. However, it is important to emphasize that endorsing specific political candidates under the church’s name can pose […]

Alabama is a conservative state, and the citizens of our state have never shied away from standing up for their values. In Alabama, there are bedrock principles by which we live and govern. We’re steadfast in our faith in God. We defend the rule of law. We protect individual freedoms and innocent life. We work […]

For 40 years, I worked in education as a teacher, coach, and mentor. I have watched the school choice movement grow and change many students’ lives. Over the past few weeks, I am proud to have been able to recognize National School Choice Week on the Senate floor, host a roundtable discussion with parents from across the country, and visit […]

In the early 1990s and prior, Alabama’s top industry was textiles, which was evidenced by the low-wage sock mills that peppered the state along with larger facilities making blue jeans, athletic wear, and other apparel items. But in 1993, Mercedes shocked the world and launched a transformation that continues to benefit our state today when […]

The federal government issues thousands of pages of new regulations annually (over 90,00 in the Federal Register in 2023). The costs of regulation are largely hidden but can be estimated them. A recent study from the National Association of Manufacturers puts the total at $3.1 trillion annually, over 10% of GDP. The study was undertaken […]

With chaos around the world and constant threats here at home, the President’s number one priority should be supporting our national defense and being a leader on the global stage. Our enemies are becoming bolder and more capable, and the United States absolutely must continue maintaining a dominant military posture to protect against any threats. […]

The most interesting race to watch this year in Alabama will be for the newly drawn Second Congressional District. The new seat was drawn by the federal courts to create a second majority minority district in Alabama. Currently, we have six Republicans and one Democrat representing Alabama in Washington. If a Democrat wins the seat, […]

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spoke to students and voters at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday. On stage, the dynastic political candidate began illustrating his personal connections to the Yellowhammer State, noting that he lived in Alabama on two separate occasions – once in 1972, as he was involved in […]

Since Joe Biden took office, his Administration has been working around the clock to fundamentally change America’s K-12 education system so they can indoctrinate our school-aged children with their radical agenda and woke ideology. I’ve seen so many things out of this Administration that bother me greatly, especially when they labeled concerned and involved parents […]

This is a presidential election year. Our GOP Presidential Primary is our election in the Heart of Dixie. We are a one party state, especially in presidential races. Alabama is one of a group of states that will hold its primary early, March 5 to be exact. Therefore, we will be going to the polls […]

Gambling is illegal in the state of Alabama, but let’s face the facts: our weak, confusing laws are not stopping Alabamians from participating or bad actors from profiting.  Over the course of the last year, I visited 21 counties and well over 40 illegal facilities and gained a first-hand perspective of what is going on […]

As an Alabama business leader and a proud American, I’ve seen firsthand the power of innovation and hard work in driving success. It’s from this vantage point of real-world experience that I over a fresh approach to rejuvenating our nation’s economy. Picture our economy as a classic car, a symbol of American prowess. Lately, it’s […]

This past week, Sens. Chuck Schumer and James Lankford proposed their idea of a “border deal” that should really be described as an “illegal immigrant deal.” This proposed deal includes providing incompetent illegal aliens with legal counsel on the American taxpayers’ dime, allows 5,000 immigrants per day into the United States, and increases green cards […]

As the race for Alabama Chief Justice heats up between Sarah Stewart and Bryan Taylor, we wonder about the future of our state Supreme Court. We have enjoyed conservative leadership for many years. Now, do we know where the candidates stand? I have known and worked with Mr. Taylor for years and know him to […]

Technology can be a wonderful thing. It can make our lives easier; it can help us solve complex problems; it can even save lives.  But we must remember that while technology can be used to solve many of our old problems, it always seems to create a new set of problems that must be addressed. […]

My notebook of observations from 2023 was so full that I will continue this week. Our new United States senator, Katie Boyd Britt, has proven to all of us that she is indeed the superstar we predicted she would be. She is sensational. She has certainly not disappointed. She is on course to be one […]

September 30, 1993, marked a watershed moment in Alabama history. That is the day Mercedes-Benz went against the grain and chose our state to be the home of their first U.S. manufacturing facility. It was a decision that changed the future of our state like no one could have imagined. Fast forward more than thirty […]

A recent Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports poll found widespread irregularities in the 2020 election. While whether this proves theft of the presidential election is debatable, it certainly demonstrates serious issues with voting by mail. The poll was conducted during the first week of December with 1,085 respondents. Thirty percent of respondents claimed to have […]

I have said from day one if we follow the money, we will be able to expose the truth about the Biden Crime Family. All three House committees currently investigating President Biden have exposed many of his corrupt business dealings through releasing bank records and issuing subpoenas to family members. Additionally, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released […]

One hundred years ago, Vladimir Lenin died. Lenin was an unlikely revolutionary. His story was not one of meager beginnings or social depravation. Rather, he came from a family of means that had little connection with the proletariat he came to champion. He was well educated, attended college, and became a lawyer. But, during his […]

I know we are in a new year, but allow me to look back into 2023 and share with you some observations and accolades from the last year. My old friend Mac McArthur has been Executive Director and Chief Cook and Bottle Washer of the Alabaman State Employees Association for 26 years now. He is […]

This week, I marked the one-year anniversary of my swearing-in to the United States Senate, capping a whirlwind twelve months of work on behalf of the people of Alabama. I’m proud of the fact that my team and I were able to hit the ground running on day one, working diligently not only to deliver […]

In 2006, actress Reese Witherspoon was awarded the Oscar for her epic role in “Walk the Line.” In her acceptance speech, she summarized her thoughts on her […]

The House returns to Washington next week to begin the second session of the 118th Congress. My top priority this year is to take the fight to President Biden and fix the damage he’s done to this country. We must secure our southern border, protect life, and rein in reckless government spending. Last year, the House […]
