From the Marques campaign
The Alabama Speaker of the House and 31 Republican members of the State's House of Representatives have endorsed Rhett Marques for Congress. Marques, a current member of the Alabama House Republican Caucus, announced last week that he is seeking to serve as the First Congressional District's Congressman.
”I am honored to have the support of so many of the men and women that I have worked with in the legislature," Marques said. "While President Trump was providing tax relief to Americans with the One Big Beautiful Bill, we were working on the state level in the Alabama legislature slashing the state tax on groceries, eliminating the state tax on diapers and baby supplies that are critical for young families, and implementing a substantial tax relief package providing relief for our seniors."
"During his tenure in the Alabama House of Representatives, Rhett Marques has proven himself to be a strong conservative who always puts the needs of our state first. He has helped deliver over $1.5 billion in tax cuts to the people of Alabama, supported our state's economy through key workforce development initiatives, bolstered public safety by supporting law enforcement and fighting illegal immigration, and much more," Speaker Ledbetter said. "His record speaks for itself, and while I certainly hate to lose him in the State Legislature, he is the exact kind of leader Alabama's First Congressional District needs in Washington, D.C."
