The Alabama Republican Party (ALGOP) released its 2025 state legislative agenda on Monday, one day before the beginning of this year’s state legislative session.
It includes cutting taxes for Alabama families, defending parental rights, and pushing back against woke policies that threaten the American Dream.
“The Alabama Republican Party firmly believes that government’s first priority should be serving the people it represents,” ALGOP Chairman John Wahl said.
“We are committed to supporting policies that help those in need, safeguard American values, and defend the fundamental rights of each and every single individual. As we look ahead to this legislative session, our goal is to build on the foundation laid by the State Legislature in recent years—work that has protected children from radical woke policies, provided financial relief to struggling families by cutting the grocery tax, and defended constitutional freedoms. The Alabama Republican Party will not back down and we will not surrender as we fight for good government.”
