“Sen. Tuberville is a bold leader who is persistent, decisive and determined,” ABA President and CEO Scott Latham said. “He will look for every opportunity to create teams and build industry alliances designed to propel Alabama forward.”

“Coach is not afraid to speak his mind regardless of the issue,” ABA Chairman Dwight Gamble said. “He has seen government at work at the highest levels which translates into strong and effective leadership from someone who loves this state and wants to see our people excel and prosper in every way.”

“These leaders grasp the importance of a robust and vibrant transportation network, responsible financial policies, and equitable regulations – all crucial for sustaining Alabama’s economy and small businesses,” said Greg Brown, TRUK PAC Chairman. “Alabama’s trucking industry proudly supports them because they each understand the challenges and opportunities facing the trucking industry and the broader small business community. Their dedication to key issues like legal fairness, workforce development, and industry and workplace safety, combined with their thoughtful and pragmatic leadership, is why they have earned our full support.”
