    Stutts replacing Mays as Senate District 6 GOP candidate

    Larry Stutts

    Alabama Republican Party Chairman Bill Armistead announced Thursday that Republican candidate Jerry Mays has dropped out of the Senate District 6 race, which covers all of Franklin County and portions of Colbert, Marion, Lauderdale and Lawrence Counties.

    The Alabama Republican Party Candidate Committee has met and selected Dr. Larry Stutts of Tuscumbia to replace Mays as the Republican candidate for Senate District 6.

    Stutts is an obstetrician and gynecologist in Sheffield and is currently president of Colbert Obstetrics and Gynecology, PC.

    Stutts’ will face Democratic incumbent Sen. Roger Bedford in the November general election.

    “The Republican Party is indeed fortunate to have Dr. Larry Stutts respond to our call to fill this vacancy. Dr. Stutts is a highly-respected physician in Northwest Alabama who is a native of the area, having been raised in Cherokee.

    “Although Dr. Stutts has never run for political office, he has served the people throughout Senate District 6 for many years through his medical practice.

    “As an OB/GYN, Dr. Stutts is strongly committed to preserving the life of every baby, born and unborn. He has served as Medical Director for Shoals Sav-A-Life and has also been active in Physicians for Life.

    “The people of Senate District 6 deserve a candidate who will represent them for the next four years in Montgomery and Dr. Stutts is the kind of change that I believe people in the area are looking for.

    “He will serve as a citizen-legislator as opposed to a professional politician. And, with the problems that citizens all over the nation are having with the Democrat Party’s ObamaCare, we need someone who understands the critical issues facing the people in Senate District 6 in healthcare.

    “Governor Bentley has demonstrated that physicians can be effective public servants, as I know Dr. Stutts will be in the Alabama Senate. I could not be more excited for the people of Colbert, Franklin, Marion, Lauderdale and Lawrence Counties than to be able to offer them a strong, conservative, Christian candidate like Dr. Larry Stutts.”

    Dr. Stutts is a lifelong resident of Colbert County. In addition to being a medical doctor, he still owns and operates the farm that has been in his family for three generations.

    Dr. Stutts is married to Jackie B. Stutts and they have four children: Elizabeth, Rebecca, Sarah and Collins.

    “I am thankful for the opportunity to be the Republican candidate to represent and serve the people of Senate District 6,” Stutts said.

    “The vision of our founding fathers was for citizen-legislators in public service, not career politicians. After spending 22 years on the front line of providing healthcare, I am looking forward to helping shape policies that will impact all of the people in Senate District 6.

    “We have many issues that need our immediate attention like creating more jobs, improving our education and as a healthcare professional I look forward to using my experience and knowledge to shape the way health care is delivered to the citizens of Alabama.

    “I am ready, willing and able to fight the overreach of the federal government in forcing ObamaCare on our citizens. Local communities and local hospitals are struggling to meet basic needs. The system can be improved with less regulation and more free-enterprise principles.

    “I will actively work to put in place policies that encourage local businesses to expand as well as recruit new business to our area.

    “I look forward to the opportunity of working closely with Governor Bentley, the legislature and the Department of Commerce to make our area a top priority in job recruitment. If our children want to live here as adults, the jobs to support them must be available.”
