Big News for Alabama's Fourth District!

Get ready, folks! Congressman Robert Aderholt is bringing home the bacon – over $56 million in federal funding, to be exact! These funds are earmarked for awesome community and transportation projects across Alabama's Fourth Congressional District. Think Rainsville, Lauderdale County, Tuscaloosa, Guntersville... you name it!

Aderholt (R-Haleyville) secured this loot as part of the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process.

Fingers Crossed, Almost There!

Hold your horses, though! While the House Appropriations Committee has given the thumbs-up, these projects still need to make their way through the full legislative process before getting the official green light. But, Aderholt assures us, he's "committed to seeing these priorities through!"
