Baldwin County native and fifth-generation farmer Christina Woerner McInnis has announced a strong first month of fundraising in her campaign for Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, raising $114,750 since the start of fundraising on May 19.

“We’re honored and encouraged by the strong support we’ve received from across Alabama,” McInnis said. “This campaign is rooted in faith, hard work, and a commitment to serving our communities, protecting Alabama farmland, and helping our farmers grow their businesses.”

Raised in the renowned Woerner family—recognized for over a century of contributions to Alabama agriculture—McInnis has built her career on innovation in farming and soil health. In 2019, she founded AgriTech Corp and launched SoilKit, a soil testing solution designed to make soil health analysis more accessible to farmers, landowners, and homeowners.

Her entrepreneurial efforts were recognized in 2023 when she was honored with the Alabama Rural-Owned Small Business of the Year Award by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

“As Commissioner, I’ll be focused on strengthening the backbone of our state, our farmers and producers,” McInnis said. “That means cutting red tape, supporting ag-related industries like our ports and processors, and keeping Alabama agriculture competitive, sustainable, and strong for generations to come.”

McInnis lives in Orange Beach with her husband, Timothy, and their four children.

The election for Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries will be held on November 3, 2026.
