The Alabama Forestry Association has endorsed Tuscaloosa City Councilman Norman Crow in the special election for Alabama House District 63, citing his business background and record of public service. The seat was vacated when Representative Cynthia Almond was appointed to the Alabama Public Service Commission.
“Norman comes highly recommended from our Tuscaloosa area membership,” said Chris Isaacson, AFA president and CEO. “With his experience in the trucking industry, Norman knows the impact the forest industry has on his district and the state, and we look forward to working with him.”
A Tuscaloosa native, Crow has served as chairman of the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority, on the Alabama Workforce Council under Governor Robert Bentley, and on the Alabama Commission on Higher Education under Governor Kay Ivey. He is a University of Alabama graduate with a degree in accounting, a certified public accountant, and the past president of D.T. Freight, LLC, a trucking company he founded in 2004.
“I am honored to receive the Alabama Forestry Association’s endorsement for the Alabama House District 63 special election,” Crow said. “The forestry industry provides over a $36 billion impact to our economy, and it is crucial that we continue to support the industry and all economic activities they provide to continue making our quality of life better in Alabama. I am grateful for their confidence in me and look forward to working together when I am elected in January.”
Crow and his wife, Keeshan, have three children and are members of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Tuscaloosa. The special general election is set for Tuesday, January 13, 2026.
