The 50 most powerful & influential people in Alabama

[tps_title]Rebekah Mason, Advisor, Gov. Robert Bentley[/tps_title]

There has been a lot of turnover in Bentley World since he was first elected in 2010 — from staffers to consultants — but Mason’s presence has been the one constant. She believed in him when he was a little-known state legislator. It paid off, big time.

She was the administration’s first communications director and now wields significant influence as an outside consultant, part of the very small circle of the governor’s closest advisors.

From crafting State of the State Addresses to coordinating external efforts to advance the governor’s agenda, Mason is involved in all of it. No one has the governor’s ear more than she does. No one.
