State Senator April Weaver, R-Brierfield, announced Monday that she will seek a new term in the Alabama State Senate District 14 seat that she’s held since 2021. Weaver cited her successful passage of legislation that “protects conservative Alabama values and fights violent crime across the state.”
“From passing a law that recognizes men are born men, women are born women, and one can never become the other to enacting legislation that keeps violent criminals behind bars by denying early release, I have stood tall for the commonsense conservative principles Alabamians embrace,” Weaver said. “My roots run deep in Senate District 14, and working every day to serve the friends, folks, and families that live here remains the greatest honor of my life.”
Prior to joining the upper chamber, Weaver served from 2010 to 2020 as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives, where she represented District 49, which included portions of Shelby, Bibb and Chilton counties.
A registered nurse with experience in healthcare administration and policy, President Donald Trump appointed Weaver as Region IV director of the United States Department of Health and Human Services during his first presidential term.
Weaver currently chairs the Senate Confirmations Committee, serves as vice chair of the Senate Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Development Committee, and holds seats on the Senate Rules Committee, the Senate Finance and Taxation General Fund Committee, which allocates almost $4 billion to non-education state agencies, the Senate Healthcare Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the Senate Transportation and Energy Committee.
