Sen. Larry Stutts kicks off re-election bid

One of Alabama’s most conservative legislators, state Sen. Larry Stutts has officially launched his re-election bid.

The local physician sent shockwaves during his first campaign with the defeat of Democrat Roger Bedford.

“Four years ago, I promised to fight for jobs, education, conservative values and reduced government,” said Stutts. “During my time in the state Senate, I have consistently delivered those results. I have been hard at work in Montgomery, advancing our principles and helping grow Northwest Alabama’s economy. I have fought for our schools, our teachers, our students and our parents. And I’m also working to bring rural broadband to our district.

“Together, we have gained more influence in our state, and we are seeing more jobs and more renewal projects come to our district.”

Stutts, who has delivered more than 12,000 babies, is a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and pro-limited government senator. He has been rated among the most conservative members of the Alabama legislature. During his time in the state Senate, Northwest Alabama’s unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest in more than a decade, and the state’s unemployment has sunk to 3.5 percent – proof, he said, that the policies he has advocated for are working.

“Conservative principles matter, the free market works, and values are important,” said Stutts. “Every day I have worked relentlessly to deliver results for the people of Northwest Alabama. Our economy is growing. Our values are being promoted. There is more work to be done, but I have spent the past four years relentlessly advancing the interests of our district and working for the people of Northwest Alabama.

“It is pivotal that we have leadership in Montgomery that is willing to stand up to special interests, fight for conservative values and reduce the size and scope of government. That is exactly the kind of leadership I have delivered, and I look forward to four more years of delivering results for our district,” Stutts added.

Stutts and his wife Jackie live in Tuscumbia, where he has served as an elder at the First Presbyterian church. They have been married 38 years and have four children and five grandchildren. His medical practice, Colbert OB/GYN, has served more than 22,000 patients. For more information, visit www.LarryStutts.com.
