Thank you to the DeKalb County Republican Women for organizing the annual Red, White, and Blue Dinner featuring keynote speaker Alabama State Treasurer John McMillan.
​
I was honored to lead the prayer and give remarks to remember the lives of the 253 Alabamians who lost their lives eight years ago. April 27th 2011 serves as a reminder that we are all on the same team. God bless our beautiful state of Alabama. #Our67

​April 27 is a day that will forever resonate with Alabamians. Today we pause to remember the families who lost loved ones on 27 April 2011. #Our67

GOOD NEWS: Aerospace and aviation is a dominant industry in Alabama. Our state has a long history of supporting the Department of Defense, both economically as well as in terms of devout appreciation for men and women in uniform. If Bell wins the project and can expand its existing facility in Ozark to assemble the 407 GXi helicopter, this would be a tremendous economic boost for the Dale County community as well as the Wiregrass region. #Our67 #DaleCounty

GOOD NEWS: During the site selection process, companies often place access to quality and specialized health care for employees and their families as a top priority.
