ALGOP Chairman Scott Stadthagen: President Trump and Republicans deliver big for Alabama

Over a decade ago, President Trump launched his historic grassroots movement right here in Alabama.

Now, we are thrilled to welcome him back to Mobile to celebrate Republicans’ promises made, promises kept agenda that’s made life better for families across our state.

When Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats created a crisis at our border, spiked inflation to 40-year highs, and put the weird and woke far-left agenda before hardworking Americans, President Trump promised to pull our country back from the brink – and he delivered.

Thanks to Republicans’ Working Families Tax Cuts – the largest middle-class tax cut in history – Alabama families, seniors, workers, and small businesses are earning more and keeping more of their hard-earned money.

More than 900,000 Alabama seniors are benefiting from no tax on Social Security, and Alabama workers are taking home their overtime pay and tips. Even Alabama farmers – the backbone of our state – are feeling historic relief thanks to President Trump.

Tax cuts are just the beginning. Trump Accounts are helping families invest in the next generation.

More than $203 million through the Rural Health Transformation Program is coming to Alabama to strengthen health care in rural communities across our state. President Trump is slashing prescription drug prices, which just recorded their largest annual decline in more than 60 years.

Under President Trump, Alabama is also attracting major companies because Made in America is back.

Eli Lilly announced more than $6 billion for a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Huntsville, while Mercedes-Benz announced $4 billion in investment at its Tuscaloosa operations, and billions in investment are creating new jobs across our state.

And speaking of new jobs, President Trump also announced that U.S. Space Command is coming back home to Huntsville, which is going to bring more than 30,000 jobs to Alabama.

This is the most pro-family, pro-small business, pro-America administration in history.

Alabama – and America – are safe again, thanks to President Trump and Republicans, who will always back the blue and support law and order.

In Alabama, violent crime fell 6.5 percent, property crime fell 7.8 percent, and murders in Birmingham dropped over 40 percent. Nationally, our country saw the largest decrease in violent crime in 125 years.

And at our southern border, the results speak for themselves. Under Biden, Harris, and the Democrats, our border was wide open to murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists.

But under President Trump, we’ve had sixteen straight months with zero releases at our border and ICE is continuing to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our communities.

As I travel across the state, I hear every day from Alabamians that they want more money in their pockets, safer communities, and commonsense in Washington.

They do not want radical and out-of-touch Democrats raising taxes, opening our border, and letting the socialists taking over their party turn our country into a far-left hellscape.

President Trump and Republicans have a proven track-record of putting America – and Alabama – first.

The choice for voters could not be more clear this November: two more years of commonsense wins or crazy Democrats who want to destroy our country.

Scott Stadthagen is chairman of the Alabama Republican Party and a member of the Alabama House of Representatives.
