State Treasurer Young Boozer has gained a number of valuable endorsements in his bid to remain Alabama’s chief financial officer, and on Tuesday, the impressive trend continued with a declaration of support from the Alabama Forestry Association.

“Young has done, and will continue to do, an exceptional job serving as Alabama’s Treasurer,” said Chris Isaacson, AFA President and CEO. “His expertise and experience in the finance sector make him a great fit for State Treasurer, and we are proud to endorse him once again.” 

Boozer, who has served as both the state’s 39th and 41st treasurer, thanked the organization for its backing.

“I appreciate the support of the Alabama Forestry Association for my reelection as Treasurer and look forward to continuing to preserve and protect all of the State’s financial resources,” said Boozer. 

Boozer was elected as State Treasurer in 2010 and 2014. He was appointed by Governor Kay Ivey to complete the remainder of John McMillan’s term in 2021. Boozer was elected to a third term in January 2023. He previously served as the Deputy State Finance Director for Governor Bob Riley from 2007 to 2010.

Prior to his time in public service, Boozer had a successful career in the private sector in banking, finance, and investments. He has worked across the country for Citibank in New York, Crocker National Bank in  Los Angeles, Coral Petroleum in Houston, and Colonial Bank in Montgomery.  

The primary election for the office of state treasurer will be held on May 19, 2026.
