I represent Alabama’s Second Congressional District, a predominantly Republican district where federalism, additional legislation, a bicameral legislature, and the Electoral College are vital to success. Covering the southeast corner of the state, Alabama’s Second Congressional District is a region marked by diversity. From large cities and major military installations to sprawling farmland and small towns, there are a variety of economic and social interests at play. Home to Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base and Fort Rucker, this region is predominantly known for its defense facilities. As the largest employers in the district, these military installations are a great boon as they infuse money into the local economy. Large metropolises such as Montgomery and Dothan are found here and provide jobs primarily in government and in the trade, transport, and warehousing industry.
