The Alabama Farmers Federation announced Tuesday its endorsement of Representative Phillip Rigsby for Alabama House District 25, which covers portions of Madison and Limestone counties.
“We are proud to endorse Rep. Rigsby because he has a proven track record representing our district well,” said Charles Butler, president of the Madison County Farmers Federation. “He is accessible and attentive to our needs as farmers, and we appreciate his interest in agriculture and this district as a whole.”
Limestone County farmers echoed the support for Rigsby.
“Rep. Rigsby has been a staunch conservative in the Legislature,” said Jerry Allen Newby, president of the Limestone County Farmers Federation. “He understands the importance and needs of farmers in our county, and we’re proud to endorse him again.”
Rigsby, a lifelong resident of Huntsville, graduated from S.R. Butler High School. He received his undergraduate and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees from Auburn University. He owns and operates Huntsville Compounding Pharmacy.
Rigsby is active in his community and his district, serving on various boards and committees. He is past president of both the Madison County Pharmacy Association and the Harrison College of Pharmacy Alumni Association. He is a volunteer firefighter, EMT, chaplain and past Cubmaster of Cub Scout Troop 8 at Monrovia Elementary School.
“It is an honor to receive the endorsement of the Alabama Farmers Federation,” Rigsby said. “I look forward to continuing our work together representing their needs and the needs of every citizen in District 25.”
Rigsby and his wife, Pamela, have two sons. They attend Gracious Savior Church where Rigsby serves as an elder.
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 endorsements from county Farmers Federation boards of directors for local elections.
