[tps_title]Quentin Riggins, Vice President of Governmental Relations, Alabama Power Company[/tps_title]
Riggins leads the top corporate governmental affairs shop in the state. The Power Company’s business is so vast there is hardly an issue before the Legislature that does not impact them in some way. It’s a big job, but Riggins has virtually unlimited resources and personnel at his disposal.
He has worked for governors on both sides of the aisle, including some time as a cabinet member in the Riley administration. He also worked for Democratic Speaker of the House Seth Hammett, then ran the governmental affairs operation at the Business Council of Alabama before briefly launching his own firm.
Prior to that he had an impressive college football career as a big-hitting linebacker for Coach Pat Dye at Auburn. He helped lead the Tigers to SEC titles in 1987, ’88 and ’89 and was a member of the 2009 class of SEC Football Legends. He still roams the sidelines of Jordan-Hare Stadium moonlighting as a reporter for the Auburn IMG Sports Network.
From sports to politics to business, Riggins is another power player with an extensive reach.
