"Here Am I; Send Me" – A Call to Serve Alabama
Military Veteran, Law Enforcement Officer, and Dedicated Leader Patrick Bishop continues to cement his bid for Lieutenant Governor
From the Bishop campaign
In the spirit of Isaiah 6:8, where the prophet responds to a divine calling with the words, "Here am I; send me," Patrick Bishop has answered his own call to serve the people of Alabama. As a premiere candidate for the 2026 Lieutenant Governor race, Bishop brings decades of experience, unwavering dedication, and a platform rooted in veterans' advocacy, education, and common-sense governance.
When asked about his decision to run, Bishop reflects, "I prayed sincerely about this calling. I knew it would be a challenge to face candidates with name recognition and deep pockets, but I was not issued a fear gene. I will press onward because Alabama deserves leadership that prioritizes the people over politics."
A Lifetime of Service
Patrick Bishop’s career spans nearly 30 years in military and law enforcement roles, where he faced life-and-death decisions in high-pressure situations. His service has instilled in him a deep respect for duty, honor, and the importance of making decisions that benefit the greater good.
As a lifelong voter since the age of 18, Bishop understands the power of the ballot box. "I was taught early on that my vote is my loudest voice," he says. "I’ve passed this belief on to my sons and other young family members because I want Alabama voters to care deeply about competency, decency, and common sense when casting their votes."
A Platform of Common Sense and Integrity
Patrick Bishop’s campaign is built on a foundation of principles that resonate with everyday Alabamians. His platform includes:
1. Veterans Advocacy: Ensuring a strong military and fulfilling obligations to veterans long after their service ends.
2. Education Reform: Supporting diverse learning options, parental rights, and technical and vocational education to prepare Alabama’s children for success.
3. Equal Rights and Justice: Promoting equality for all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex, or national origin.
4. Religious Freedom: Protecting the rights of people of faith to exercise their beliefs without government interference.
5. Freedom of Speech and Press: Opposing any attempts to weaken or silence these fundamental rights.
6. Fair Taxation: Advocating for lower, fair tax models that fund government without waste.
7. Business Growth: Eliminating unnecessary regulations to encourage industry and job creation.
8. Election Integrity: Supporting legislation for proof of citizenship and secure photo identification to ensure fair elections.
9. Common Sense Leadership: Making decisions that prioritize the needs of Alabama families over political gamesmanship.
"I believe in common sense," Bishop emphasizes. "These positions are not about who has the most money or the biggest name. They are about serving the people of Alabama with integrity, decency, and a commitment to doing what’s right."
A Choice for Alabama’s Future
As the 2026 elections approach, Patrick Bishop challenges voters to look beyond the superficial aspects of campaigns and focus on the qualities that truly matter: civil service, common sense, and basic decency. "In a few months, Alabama voters will have a choice: continue suffering under failed policies that have made life unaffordable, or stand up and demand better," he says.
Bishop’s vision for Alabama is one of opportunity, progress, and unity. He calls on voters to join him in building a movement that puts people first—defending schools, supporting veterans, and making life affordable for families.
A Leader for Montgomery
Patrick Bishop is more than a candidate; he is a servant leader. As a military veteran, law enforcement officer, mediator, antiterrorism expert, Christian, husband, father, and civil servant, he embodies the qualities Alabama needs in its next Lieutenant Governor.
"Send me to Montgomery," Bishop urges. "Send a leader who will fight for the people, defend our values, and work tirelessly to make Alabama a better place for all."
