The Alabama Farmers Federation announced its endorsement of veteran Birmingham educator and former Briarwood Christian School administrator, Kelly Mooney, for District 3 of the Alabama State School Board.
“I am honored to receive the Farmers Federation’s endorsement,” Mooney said of the news. “The Federation and I share the same conservative values and the same concern for the future of our children’s education in our state.”
District 3 consists of Bibb, Chilton, Coosa, Elmore, and Shelby counties along with parts of Jefferson, Montgomery, and Talladega Counties.
Kathy Gordon, Montgomery County Farmers Federation president, expressed confidence in Mooney’s abilities.
“Kelly Mooney will work hard to ensure our children get what they need in the classroom and that their parents have a voice in their education,” said Gordon. “She will work hard to advocate for our school children to see they get the quality education they deserve.”

Mooney is a member of the Shelby County Republican Executive Committee and the Republican Women of North Shelby County. She is also the wife of State Rep. Arnold Mooney.
The District 3 place has been held by Stephanie Bell since her first election in 1995. She has not announced plans to run for reelection in 2024. The 2024 primary election will be held on March 5, 2024.
