Tuscaloosa native and businessman Norman Crow has gained the endorsement of the political affiliate of the Business Council of Alabama, ProgressPAC, in his bid to become the next representative of House District 63 in the state legislature.

The organization announced its support for Crow in the upcoming special election on Thursday, citing his significant knowledge and success in both the private and public sectors.

“In this cycle’s special election, we have kept our commitment to supporting candidates who will advance Alabama’s business community,” said ProgressPAC Chairman Gary Smith. “Norman Crow has shown remarkable character throughout his extensive experience as a businessman and his tenure on the Tuscaloosa City Council. His insight into community development, local business growth, and pro-business principles will make Norman an invaluable member of the state House.”

If elected, Crow looks forward to advancing economic progress in the district with the help of the organization.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of ProgressPAC for my Alabama House District 63 race,” he said. “This endorsement reflects a shared commitment to advancing economic growth, supporting Alabama’s businesses, and building a stronger future for Alabama. I am grateful for their trust and am excited to work with the Business Council of Alabama to continue growing our state’s economy and working to make our citizens’ quality of life better.”

The House District 63 seat opened following Governor Kay Ivey’s appointment of State Rep. Cynthia Lee Almond to serve as President of the Alabama Public Service Commission.

The special primary election is scheduled for September 30; the special primary runoff, if necessary, for October 28; and the special general election for January 13, 2026.
