“Rep. Randall Shedd has been an effective leader for the people of District 11, putting his constituents first and working tirelessly to improve their communities. I was proud to work alongside him, especially to expand broadband access across Alabama, ensuring more families, students and businesses have connectivity,” Governor Ivey said today.

“As we move forward in filling this seat, I encourage everyone in District 11 to make their voice heard by getting out and voting in this special election.”
