The Electric Cooperatives of Alabama Political Action Committee (PAC) today announced its endorsement of State Rep. Rhett Marques (R-Enterprise) for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District.

The special election for several Alabama congressional districts will be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.

“Throughout his time in the state Legislature, Rhett has been a strong advocate for policies that support economic growth, strengthen infrastructure and help Alabama’s rural communities thrive,” said Jeff Hodges, PAC Chairman.

“We have no doubt that he will bring that same commitment to Washington and be a strong advocate for Alabama’s electric cooperatives.”

Marques, a native of Enterprise who has represented Alabama House District 91 since 2018, welcomed the endorsement and said he remains committed to advancing policies that strengthen American energy and support Alabama families.

“Electric cooperatives deliver reliable, affordable energy to the families, farms, and small businesses that power Alabama’s Second Congressional District. I’m honored to have their endorsement as they help deliver American energy dominance,” Marques said.

“I’m running to keep fighting to unleash American energy, lower costs for hardworking families, strengthen our national security and restore the United States as the world’s leading energy producer.”
