Monday, Alabama House Speaker Mac McCutcheon (R-Monrovia) announced his endorsement of Chip Beeker and Jeremy Oden in their reelection bids for the Alabama Public Service Commission (PSC).
In announcing his endorsement of the incumbent PSC Republicans, McCutcheon, a retired law enforcement officer, declared that Alabama had the “most conservative Public Service Commission” in the United States.
“Alabama has the most conservative Public Service Commission in the nation, and we need to keep it that way,” advised McCutcheon. “That’s why I’m proudly voting for conservative fighters Jeremy Oden and Chip Beeker on June 21.”
McCutcheon asserted that Beeker and Oden would continue to combat socialist “Green New Deal” energy policies and sounded the alarm over what he called an attempt by the “radical left” to purchase the PSC Republican primary election.
“This is a critical election for Alabama’s future, and we need to get everyone out to the polls to keep the PSC conservative,” added the speaker. “We cannot allow the radical Left to buy a Republican primary in our state. Chip Beeker and Jeremy Oden will fight President Biden’s ‘America Last’ Green New Deal agenda, and they’ll defend our jobs, small businesses, farmers, and values.”
Yellowhammer News recently reported on an effort led by a prominent supporter of the national left’s climate agenda to finance the primary challengers of Beeker and Oden in an attempt to unseat the conservative commissioners.
McCutcheon concluded, “Jeremy Oden and Chip Beeker support affordable, reliable, and secure energy for hardworking Alabama families. I am proud to endorse them and urge Alabamians to vote to keep the Alabama Public Service Commission conservative.”
