“As a small business owner, I understand the challenges our families and businesses face,” he said. “I know what it’s like to juggle family and work while worrying about making ends meet. I’m running for state representative to ensure that our district has a strong, conservative voice in the legislature and that we work to create solutions to improve the lives of all Cullman County residents.”

If elected, Hollingsworth said he would learn as much as he can about an issue and listen to the concerns of his constituents before making a decision.

“I commit to serve the people of Cullman County with integrity and be a strong conservative voice in Montgomery,” Hollingsworth said. “I care deeply for this community and will always put the needs of my constituents first.”

Hollingsworth is a graduate of Cullman High School, attended Wallace State Community College and earned a bachelor’s degree from Athens State University.

He is the owner of D1 Motor Cars which specializes in unique, hard-to-find vehicles. Before owning his business, he was the manager at College Tire in Hanceville.
