MONTGOMERY, Ala. – ProgressPAC, the political arm of the Business Council of Alabama (BCA), announced its second round of legislative endorsements for the 2026 election cycle today.
Throughout the organization’s history, ProgressPAC has consistently supported candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to growing Alabama’s economy through collaboration with Alabama’s business community.
“Our state succeeds when policymakers and job creators pull in the same direction,” said Helena Duncan, BCA President and CEO. “The individuals we’re endorsing today have demonstrated a clear understanding of what it takes to keep Alabama competitive – supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, protecting free enterprise, and ensuring businesses of every size can grow. BCA is proud to stand with leaders who are committed to building a stronger Alabama.”
These lawmakers have been trusted partners to BCA’s membership, consistently engaging with businesses in their districts and championing issues that matter to job creators.
ProgressPAC Chairman Gary Smith said, “These endorsements reflect ProgressPAC’s commitment to electing candidates who are not only pro-business, but who also demonstrate the work ethic and problem-solving mindset needed to make Alabama a national leader for job growth.”
ProgressPAC-endorsed candidates have a proven track record of collaborating with employers and clearly understand the challenges facing Alabama businesses. This group of lawmakers has worked tirelessly to advance policies that promote growth, competitiveness, and long-term economic stability for the state.
