The Alabama Farmers Federation announced Monday its endorsement of Representative Brock Colvin for House District 26 in the Alabama House of Representatives. The district covers the southern portion of Marshall County including Albertville, Boaz, Douglas and Guntersville.
“Rep. Colvin has given farmers a voice in Montgomery,” said John Bevel, president of the Marshall County Farmers Federation. “He understands the importance of agriculture to this area, and he works hard to support us.”
Colvin received a B.S. in economics and finance from the University of Alabama. He also studied risk management and political science.
In the House of Representatives, Colvin serves on the Ways and Means Education Committee, Commerce and Small Business Committee and Insurance Committee. The Federation said Colvin is active in the communities of his district including being a member of the Albertville and Boaz Chambers of Commerce and the Albertville Rotary Club.
“I am honored to receive the continued support of the Alabama Farmers Federation,” said Colvin. “Agriculture is an important part of this district, and I look forward to ensuring the people who work so hard to feed us have a voice in our government.”
Colvin and his wife, Grace, reside in Albertville and attend First Baptist Church of Albertville.
The Alabama Farmers Federation is the state’s largest farm organization with more than 360,000 member families. It uses a grassroots approach to select candidates, relying on Alabama FarmPAC recommendations from county Farmers Federation boards of directors for local elections.
