Crow, now chairman of the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority, thanked the AFA for its backing and acknowledged the forest industry’s tremendous economic value.
“I am honored to receive the Alabama Forestry Association’s endorsement for the Alabama House District 63 special election,” Crow said.
“The forestry industry provides over a $36 billion impact to our economy, and it is crucial that we continue to support the industry and all economic activities they provide to continue making our quality of life better in Alabama. I am grateful for their confidence in me and look forward to working together when I am elected in January.”
Crow previously served on the Tuscaloosa City Council. He was also a member of the Alabama Workforce Council in 2014 and was appointed by Governor Ivey to serve on the Alabama Commission on Higher Education in 2017. He served in both positions until 2022.

HD63 became an open seat following Governor Kay Ivey’s appointment of former State Rep. Cynthia Almond to serve as President of the Alabama Public Service Commission.
The special primary election for House District 63 is scheduled for next month, on September 30, 2025.
