“Manufacture Alabama endorses Jack Williams because of his strong record supporting our industry during his time in the Alabama Legislature and his deep understanding of the importance of a positive business climate on our state’s economy,” said Jon Barganier, president of Manufacture Alabama. “Senator Williams has worked tirelessly to support Alabama’s businesses and ensure that both agriculture and manufacturing are able to thrive. His proven leadership and commitment to serving the people of Alabama make him the right choice to lead the Department of Agriculture and Industries.” 

A businessman and a longtime public servant, Williams has dedicated his career to advancing Alabama’s economic and community interests, the organization shared. “He has built strong relationships with business leaders, farmers, and manufacturers, and is committed to ensuring that Alabama retains a competitive, pro-business environment where both agriculture and industry thrive,” Manufacture Alabama stated.

“Some of the best products in the world are manufactured, produced, and grown right here in Alabama, and I am honored to have the endorsement of the industry that knows that best,” said Sen. Williams. “Our farmers and our manufacturers depend on fair markets and strong infrastructure. As Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, I will support President Trump’s trade policies and make sure Alabama industries can compete and win.”
