YH’s Holland: Lt. Governor race comes down to proven leadership

As a long-time political participant and observer, some 40 years, and all in Alabama, I cannot begin to stress the importance of having a high caliber person to run our Alabama State Senate. Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh is that person. I have known and worked with Twinkle since her days fighting for conservative causes and as chairman of our beloved state Republican Party. During all those years, Twinkle stayed true to God, her family, her values, which are very high, and to the Alabama Republican Party.

As a public servant, I have had the opportunity to watch Twinkle up close and at work. No one works harder for the people of this great state. With each job, she has gained valuable experience and knowhow, which is invaluable, especially in public service. Twinkle knows how to get the job done and done right. Her work ethic is impeccable; you will not out work Twinkle. And, she does it all with a smile.

Twinkle takes her job very seriously. Like Donald Trump, she has cut regulations, and also like our president, Twinkle has stood up against the “Big Mules” as “Big” Jim Folsom used to say. Twinkle has reduced spending, liabilities, vehicles even her office was reduced in size and, most importantly, has returned millions through efficiently running the Public Service Commission into the Alabama Treasury.

Twinkle’s outstanding record speaks for itself. Her opponent is documented to be anti-Trump. While serving as chairman of Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign, he submitted a statement declaring “Donald Trump is a con artist, not a conservative.”

I trust you will join me in voting for Twinkle on Tuesday, July 17 because of her service, because of her outstanding record and because of her vision for the state that we all love — she deserves it. After all, we need someone who has real experience and the knowledge to run our Alabama State Senate.
