ProgressPAC, the political arm of the Business Council of Alabama, BCA, announced Thursday its second round of legislative endorsements for the 2026 election cycle.

Throughout the organization’s history, ProgressPAC said it has consistently supported candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to growing Alabama’s economy through collaboration with Alabama’s business community.

“Our state succeeds when policymakers and job creators pull in the same direction,” said Helena Duncan, BCA president and CEO. “The individuals we’re endorsing today have demonstrated a clear understanding of what it takes to keep Alabama competitive – supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, protecting free enterprise, and ensuring businesses of every size can grow. BCA is proud to stand with leaders who are committed to building a stronger Alabama.”

These lawmakers have been trusted partners to BCA’s membership, consistently engaging with businesses in their districts and championing issues that matter to job creators, BCA stated in its release.

ProgressPAC Chairman Gary Smith said, “These endorsements reflect ProgressPAC’s commitment to electing candidates who are not only pro-business, but who also demonstrate the work ethic and problem-solving mindset needed to make Alabama a national leader for job growth.”

“Each of these candidates has shown a genuine commitment to improving Alabama’s business climate, and we look forward to supporting them as the 2026 campaign moves ahead,” Smith said.
