The Petroleum and Convenience Marketers Association of Alabama, P&CMA, announced last Friday its endorsement of State Representative Rhett Marques in his campaign for the United States Congress.

P&CMA, which represents hundreds of small business owners across Alabama’s petroleum and convenience marketing industry, cited Marques’ proven track record of standing up for job creators and advancing pro-business policies during his service in the Alabama Legislature.

“Rhett has been a champion for small business owners, always having their backs in the Alabama Legislature. We know that he will continue to fight for our members when he’s elected to Congress, and we are excited to give him our full support,” said Bart Fletcher, president of P&CMA.

Rep. Marques expressed gratitude for the endorsement, noting the vital role P&CMA members play in the state’s economy. “The petroleum and convenience industry is a cornerstone of our communities, providing jobs, services, and opportunities across Alabama. I am honored to have P&CMA’s trust and support, and I look forward to continuing to be their voice in Washington,” Marques said.

“The P&CMA endorsement adds to the growing momentum behind Marques’ campaign, reinforcing his position as the candidate with proven conservative leadership and strong grassroots support,” the Association shared.
