U.S. House candidate Jerry Carl, R-Alabama, announced Monday that he has been endorsed by the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama.
The Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama released a statement announcing the endorsement earlier Monday.
“The Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama proudly announce their endorsement of Jerry Carl, a champion for Alabama’s 1st Congressional District,” Bart Fletcher, president of the association, said. “During his time in Congress, Jerry Carl has proven time after time that he is and will continue to be a strong advocate for small businesses in Washington, D.C. His leadership and record speak loudly. This is why, on behalf of 3,683 convenience stores and their 59,296 employees that make up our association, we not only endorse Jerry Carl, but we are committed to working with him to help protect the interests of all small businesses and their employees.”
Following the announcement, Carl released a statement thanking the association for its support.
“I am deeply honored to be endorsed by such a good group like the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama. Small businesses are the lifeblood of this state,” Carl said. “I look forward to helping the P&CMA help Alabamians across Mobile, Baldwin, Escambia and Covington counties.”
Carl, a self-described “proven America First conservative” and former U.S. representative for Alabama’s 1st Congressional District, said he is continuing his campaign to represent the Gulf Coast and Mobile area with a focus on “delivering results for Alabama families.”
