ProgressPAC, the Business Council of Alabama’s pro-jobs political affiliate, announced Monday its endorsement of John Roberts for District 2 in the Alabama State Senate in the upcoming 2026 election cycle.
A lifelong resident of North Alabama, Roberts is a leader in commercial real estate development, where he continues to drive regional economic growth. In his previous role with the local chamber, he was instrumental in advancing workforce development initiatives and strengthening the area’s business climate, ProgressPAC shared.
“With 2026 quickly approaching, we remain committed to supporting candidates who will champion Alabama’s business community,” said ProgressPAC Chairman Gary Smith. “John Roberts has demonstrated a results-driven approach in his extensive experience in economic and workforce development. His deep understanding of job readiness and local business growth will make him a strong asset in the Alabama Senate.”
“The Business Council of Alabama understands what it takes to build a strong economy—smart policies, skilled workers, and support for job creators,” said candidate John Roberts. “I’m honored to have them endorse our campaign for State Senate. I look forward to partnering with BCA to advance the policies Alabama needs to compete and win.”
The seat is currently held by State Sen. Tom Butler, R-Madison, who announced earlier this month that he will not seek re-election. The race for Senate District 2 presents a key opportunity to promote economic development, support local enterprises, and further enhance the quality of life for residents.
ProgressPAC said it looks forward to supporting Roberts and is confident that he will uphold these principles and serve as a dedicated advocate for the constituents of his region.
