Dr. Nicole Wadsworth officially launched her campaign for lieutenant governor of Alabama last Thursday morning at a packed event at her campaign headquarters in Montgomery.
Supporters, community leaders and members of the press gathered to hear Wadsworth share her bold, Alabama-first vision rooted in economic growth, workforce development, safer communities, rural healthcare access, and conservative values.
“Every Alabamian deserves the opportunity to have a good job without having to leave the place they call home,” Wadsworth said. “We must strengthen workforce development so every Alabamian – from the high school student to the veteran – has a clear path to a good paying job.”
A nationally recognized economic developer and conservative leader, Wadsworth has visited all 67 counties in Alabama more than 25 times, bringing a hands-on approach to revitalizing local economies and supporting small businesses.
Her priorities include business recruitment and retention, statewide infrastructure improvements, the expansion of telehealth in rural areas, a quality and skilled workforce, defending the unborn, promoting public safety, and fostering a business climate that cuts red tape for job creators and positions Alabama for growth.
“We must ensure that every community has a seat of the table,” Wadsworth said. “That means working together businesses, educators, law enforcement, local leaders, and citizens – to build an Alabama that works for us all.”
Wadsworth also thanked her husband, State Rep. Tim Wadsworth, for his support and service, noting their shared commitment to family, faith and public service. Together, they are raising their college-aged son and daughter with the values of integrity, discipline and hard work.
The campaign invites Alabamians across our state to get involved and help build a stronger, safer and more prosperous Alabama. #Our67
