BCA Bulks Up War Chest for 2026 Elections!

The Business Council of Alabama (BCA) is gearing up for the 2026 election season with some serious fundraising firepower. They've already raked in around $4.2 million to back candidates who are champions of business.

Surpassing Expectations

Alabama Daily News reports the BCA is crushing it! They’ve exceeded their initial fundraising target and are now aiming for a cool $5 million. Talk about ambition!

Backing Their Buddies

Gary Smith, head of the BCA’s Progress PAC, made it clear: they're all about supporting their friends in the political arena. Translation? If you're not pro-business, don't expect a donation.

Prioritizing Pro-Business Leaders

The BCA emphasizes its commitment to electing leaders who get it – those who understand the challenges faced by business owners and will fight for free enterprise, opportunity, innovation, and accountability.

Heavy Hitters in 2022

Remember the 2022 elections? The BCA threw its weight around, donating around $1.4 million to candidates statewide.

Early Endorsements

And they're not wasting any time for 2026! They've already endorsed some big names, including Tommy Tuberville for governor and Jay Mitchell for attorney general. Real estate guru John Roberts also gets the nod for State Senate District 2.
