The Alabama Farmers Federation has endorsed a group of elected officials and leaders for the upcoming 2024 election cycle. The group posted a “FarmPAC Voter Guide” on Tuesday detailing its support for candidates.
Federation President Jimmy Purnell said Alabama Farm PAC's endorsement reflects the grassroots nature of the organization and evidence of candidates' efforts to meet with members and hear their concerns.
“Our support is recommended by the mayors or their representatives of all 67 counties in Alabama and the state board of governors,” Parnell said. “These candidates have spent months traveling around the state meeting with county Farmers Federations and individual members. This process not only speaks to the influence of the Alabama Farmers Federation, but also to the selection process. It is also a process to ensure that elected officials understand the issues facing their constituents.”
As you head to the polls on March 5, be sure to refer to the FarmPac Voter Guide. ✅🗳️
