Big Wheels Keep on Turnin': Truckers Endorse Wes Allen for Lt. Gov!

Hold onto your hats, ChumCity citizens! The Alabama Trucking Association's TRUK PAC just threw its weight behind Wes Allen for the state's next Lieutenant Governor. And they ain't truckin' around!

Why Allen?

According to TRUK PAC Chairman Greg Brown, Allen gets it. He understands that Alabama's economy rolls on the back of a strong trucking industry – an industry that employs a whopping 132,000 Alabamians. Brown emphasized the need for leaders like Allen who support lower taxes, less red tape, and a strong pro-business environment.

Allen's Response

Allen, currently the Secretary of State, is "honored" by the endorsement. He acknowledges that truckers are the backbone, ensuring everything from food to medical supplies makes it where it needs to go. He emphasized his pride in working for these "hardworking men and women."

The Road Ahead

Allen announced his bid for Lt. Governor back in February 2025. The Republican primary race, slated for May 19, 2026, already features a crowded field, including Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries Rick Pate and former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. Get ready for a rumble!
