Forestry Endorses Wes Allen for Lt. Gov.

The Alabama Forestry Association (AFA) has announced its endorsement of Wes Allen for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Alabama.

Allen currently serves as the 54th Secretary of State of Alabama, a post he assumed in 2023. Previously, he served the Alabama House of Representatives for District 89 from 2018 to 2022, and before that he spent nearly a decade as Probate Judge of Pike County.

“Over the course of his time in public service, Wes has been a friend of forestry,” said Chris Isaacson, AFA President & CEO. “I recall working with him when he, as Probate Judge, served as a liaison with the County Commissions around the State as we passed legislation to improve access to road infrastructure. When he was in the House of Representatives, he was one of the most fiscally responsible members and was a staunch proponent of limited government initiatives. Wes understands and supports our industry and we are pleased to endorse him to be the next Lieutenant Governor.”

“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the Alabama Forestry Association,” said Allen. “These hardworking men and women help drive Alabama’s economy and I am thankful for their support. Those that work in our State’s forestry sector recognize that I have a proven record of cutting red tape, eliminating wasteful spending and working to create an environment that allows businesses to thrive and Alabamians to work without unnecessary, burdensome government interference.”

Allen earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama, where he also played football. He earned his Master’s degree from Troy University. He and his wife, Cae, have two children.
