Transcript as follows:

I’m Walt Maddox. I’m 45-years old and I’ve led Tuscaloosa through three terms as mayor, through a devastating tornado into a vibrant economic renaissance that earned our city national praise.

I’m pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and I’m a father of two.

As your governor, I will make you two promises: I will never put my party ahead of the people. And I will never lie to you.
