Chris Beeker

Citing the importance of keeping proven conservatives on the Alabama Public Service Commission, Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth on Wednesday announced his endorsement of Chris Beeker for PSC Place 2 in the 2026 Republican primary elections.

“Chris Beeker is the proven conservative leader that we need working every day to keep energy costs affordable for families and businesses while fighting the radical environmentalist agenda and Green New Deal nonsense,” Ainsworth said. “He is young and energetic and embodies the next generation of conservative public servants who are stepping forward to lead Alabama to even higher heights.”

“As a cattle and catfish farmer, Chris understands the importance of grit, hard work, and tenacity, which are qualities that every leader must possess, and his appointment as USDA Alabama Rural Development Director by President Trump during his first term shows he has the MAGA seal of approval,” he continued. “I’m standing with Chris Beeker because he is using his seat on the Public Service Commission to stand tall for all of us.”

The Alabama Republican primary is scheduled to take place on May 19, 2026.
