BREAKING: Paul Lee Elected Alabama House Majority Leader
Lee steps into the leadership role after State Rep. Scott Stadthagen (R–Hartselle) stepped down to seek election as Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party.
The Alabama House Republican Caucus on Wednesday elected State Rep. Paul Lee (R–Dothan) as House Majority Leader for the remainder of the quadrennium.
Lee steps into the leadership role after State Rep. Scott Stadthagen (R–Hartselle) stepped down to seek election as Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party.
“Our House Republican Caucus must keep its focus on the important issues and initiatives being discussed during the 2026 regular session and finish the job that each of us were sent to Montgomery to complete,” Lee said. “At the same time, we must continue representing the conservative beliefs, traditional values, and bedrock Republican principles that our Caucus members embrace and share with our constituents back home.”
Lee currently serves as Chairman of the House Health Committee and sits on the House Ways and Means General Fund Committee and the Legislative Council.
Before joining the Legislature, Lee served on the Dothan City Commission from 2005 to 2010. He retired from Sony’s Magnetic Tape Division after 31 years as a senior production specialist and now serves as Executive Director of the Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center in Dothan.
More details are expected as House leadership transitions continue.
