Tuesday, State Rep. Tommy Hanes (R-Bryant) announced that he was endorsing Tim James for governor.

Hanes, a retired firefighter, is currently seeking a third term in the Alabama House of Representatives, serving District 23, which includes Jackson and Scottsboro Counties and parts of Dekalb County.

According to his voting record as rated by the Alabama Policy Institute (API) and the American Conservative Union (ACU), he is seen as one of the most conservative legislators in the Yellowhammer State.

In a press release, Hanes said James can be trusted to govern as a true conservative.

“Tim James is a God-fearing, conservative who will put principle over politics in every decision,” said Hanes. “The Tennessee Valley needs a leader who will reflect our values in the Governor’s Mansion, and I am honored to endorse him for Governor.”

James thanked the two-term legislator for his support.

“It is an honor to be endorsed by one of the most conservative members in the Alabama Legislature,” said James. “Tommy has consistently fought to lower taxes, limit government power, improve public safety, and protect our children in the classrooms. I am looking forward to working with him in the state legislature.”

It’s an honor to be endorsed by one of the most conservative members in the AL Legislature. Tommy has consistently fought to lower taxes, limit government power, improve public safety, & protect our children in the classrooms.
