“I am committed to working with national, state and county executive members to fight for the values we all believe in”—Pat Bishop
Monday evening in Eutaw, Retired Army Major Pat Bishop addressed a gathering of Greene County residents as he campaigns for Alabama Lieutenant Governor.
In his opening remarks, Bishop said, “I am committed to working with national, state and county executive members to fight for the values we all believe in and to help elect men and women who will serve our state with integrity and vision based on common-sense management and the following of Christian principles. I’m eager to continue our teamwork, and I look forward to all we will accomplish together in taking care of our veterans, first responders, educators, youth and elderly. We must go out & make Alabama better.”
Throughout his speech, Bishop focused on key issues: the State’s crime surge, homelessness among Veterans, expanding community service officers to assist law enforcement with citizens suffering mental illnesses, and strengthening protections for teachers in the classroom.
