On Wednesday the Alabama Republican Party (ALGOP) congratulated its nominees on a decisive night at the ballot box. Republicans won every statewide constitutional office and kept supermajorities in both chambers of the Alabama Legislature.
ALGOP Chair Scott Stadthagen said the results showed that Alabama’s conservative foundation is as strong as ever, even as Democrats made gains in other parts of the country.
Stadthagen released the following statement:
“Despite the best efforts of Democrats and their willing accomplices in the liberal media to claim that a massive blue tidal wave was heading for Alabama, the political waters across our state remained bright red once the ballots were counted.
“Republicans won every statewide constitutional office and retained solid supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature. Our voters turned out in huge numbers, despite organized media efforts to discourage and suppress them, and they saw right through the false narratives and fake news. Their message was clear: Alabama is, and will remain, the brightest red Republican state in the nation.
“I want to congratulate Governor-elect Tommy Tuberville, U.S. Senator-elect Barry Moore and our entire slate of Republican winners up and down the ballot. I especially want to congratulate Attorney General-elect Katherine Robertson, who made history last night as the first woman ever elected attorney general of Alabama.
“Most importantly, I want to thank the members of our State Executive Committee, our county parties and the thousands of grassroots volunteers who knocked on doors, put out yard signs, made phone calls, and did the hard work that wins elections. Our county parties are the backbone of the Alabama Republican Party, and last night they delivered.”
