State Sen. Gerald Allen is officially running for reelection to the Alabama State Senate. First elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 1994 and the state Senate in 2010, the lawmaker is billing himself as a “trusted conservative leader” with a “record rooted in results.”
In a campaign announcement issued Wednesday, Allen explained why the people of District 21 should consider supporting his candidacy for another term.
“I’m running for reelection because I believe in the people of West Alabama and the future of our great state and country,” said Allen. “Over the years, we’ve made real progress-creating jobs, stabilizing the Education Trust fund, protecting our conservative values, and standing up for families and small businesses. But our work is not done. I remain committed to serving with honesty, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to the people of Alabama.”
“I’m running for reelection to continue protecting our conservative principles, growing our economy, and being a strong voice for West Alabama. I’ve spent my entire career fighting for our people, and I’m not done yet.”

Allen has built a reputation on being easily accessible to his constituents.
“I’ve always believed public service is about listening, learning, and leading with conviction,” he said. “West Alabama deserves someone who shows up, fights hard, and keeps their word-that’s exactly what I’ve done, and will continue to do.”
Since joining the state legislature, Allen has made a consistent effort to support pro-growth policies, fiscal responsibility, and the protection of what Allen refers to as “traditional values.” The Tuscaloosa native’s campaign is also emphasizing his depth of community involvement and strong Christian faith as prime reasons why Allen has been a successful legislator throughout his career.
Alabama Senate District 21 includes parts of Pickens and Tuscaloosa counties.
