The Alabama Farmers Federation has endorsed State Rep. James Lomax for Alabama House District 20 in Madison County. The district covers Huntsville’s booming southeast corridor.
Lomax, one of the state’s youngest legislators, was first elected in a 2022 landslide victory – and is running again in 2026.
“Rep. Lomax works hard and represents the people of this district well,” Charles Butler, President of the Madison County Farmers Federation, said.
“We have complete confidence he will continue to be a strong conservative voice for us in Montgomery as he has been in the past.”
The Alabama Farmers Federation is the start’s largest farm organization, representing over 360,000 member families across all 67 Alabama counties.
Endorsements from the Federation and its political arm, FarmPAC, are among the most sought-after stamps of approval in state political elections.
Lomax, a lifelong resident of Huntsville, is Vice President of Corporate Office Properties Trust, where he has developed more than 1 million square feet of commercial space in North Alabama.
“I appreciate the support of Madison County farmers because we share the same conservative values and principles,” said Lomax (R-Huntsville).
“Agriculture is a vital component to our state’s economic success, and it is an honor to have the support of our farmers in Madison County.”
Lomax serves on committees critical to farming interests, including the House Committees on Economic Development and Tourism; Ethics and Campaign Finance; Ports, Waterways and Intermodal Transit; and Financial Services.
Most recently, he was appointed by Alabama Speaker of the House Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) to fill a vacancy on the powerful House Rules Committee, which sets the agenda in the lower chamber when lawmakers are in session.
Lomax is also a recipient of the Council of State Governments’ prestigious 20 Under 40 leadership award, chosen from among hundreds of lawmakers across the country. In his district, he’s active in many civic and charitable organizations in Madison County.
He and his wife, Elizabeth, have two daughters. They reside in Huntsville and attend Trinity Baptist Church in Madison.
The Republican primary election is May 19, 2026.
