Rhett Marques Gets a Boost in Congressional Run!

Alabama State Rep. Rhett Marques is making waves in his bid for Alabama's 1st Congressional District, snagging a key endorsement from the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers Association of Alabama (P&CMA)! This marks the lawmaker's first major trade association endorsement, signaling strong support from the business community.

Standing Up For Small Business

P&CMA, representing hundreds of Alabama's small business owners in the petroleum and convenience marketing sector, praised Marques' commitment to supporting job creators and advocating for pro-business policies during his time in the Alabama Legislature.

A Champion for the Industry

"Rhett has consistently stood up for small business owners," said Bart Fletcher, President of P&CMA. "We're confident he'll continue fighting for our members in Congress, and we're thrilled to offer our full support."

Marques Responds

Marques (R-Enterprise) emphasized the crucial role P&CMA members play in the state's economy. "The petroleum and convenience industry is the backbone of our communities," Marques stated. "I'm honored to have their trust and support, and I look forward to being their voice in Washington."

Race Heats Up

Marques is vying for U.S. Rep. Barry Moore's seat as Moore seeks a U.S. Senate position. He'll face off against Jerry Carl, adding even more intensity to the race. Marques recently secured endorsements from U.S. Senator Katie Britt, Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter, and 31 other conservative members of the Alabama House, further solidifying his position as a formidable candidate.
