The Business Council of Alabama issued a press release today announcing its endorsement of Luther Strange in the special primary election runoff for the U.S. Senate.
“The Business Council of Alabama is proud to endorse U.S. Sen. Luther Strange in his bid to continue to serve the people of Alabama in the United States Senate,” said BCA Chairman Jeff Coleman, president and chief executive officer of Coleman Worldwide Moving. “Sen. Strange has built his reputation on being a tireless advocate for the growth and progress of the state of Alabama. The Business Council of Alabama believes Luther Strange has the experience and proven leadership needed in the halls of Congress.”
“The Business Council of Alabama believes that U.S. Sen. Luther Strange is the right person to succeed Jeff Sessions in the United States Senate,” said BCA First Vice Chairman Perry Hand, chairman and chief executive officer of Volkert, Inc. “With a proven track record of battling federal overreach along with his extensive background in business and economic development, Sen.
