The organization complimented Allen’s small business record, saying he is a leader who fights for the state’s economic engine.

Secretary of State Wes Allen

The Petroleum and Convenience Marketers Association of Alabama, P&CMA, announced its endorsement Monday of Wes Allen in his campaign to become Alabama’s next lieutenant governor.

P&CMA, which represents hundreds of small business owners in the state’s petroleum and convenience marketing industry, complimented Allen’s strong pro-small business record and advocacy for job creation during his time in the legislature and as Alabama’s secretary of state.

“Wes Allen has proven time and time again that he is a leader that gets results,” Rex Jones, chairman of the P&CMA Board of Directors, said. “It is vital to elect public servants who are able to tackle complex problems head on and stand firm to promote economic development and protect Alabama’s energy sector while fighting for the small businesses that serve as our state’s economic engine.”

Wes Allen expressed his appreciation for the endorsement.

“I am honored to receive the support of the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama and the thousands of hardworking men and women that P&CMA represents,” Allen said. “Supporting energy independence and standing strong for small businesses have always been priorities of mine and will continue to be when I am elected as Alabama’s next Lt. Governor.”

Allen currently serves as Alabama Secretary of State. The Republican primary election is scheduled for May 19, 2026.
