The group that calls itself “the Republican wing of the Republican party” has endorsed Jim Zeigler for Secretary of State in this Tuesday’s Republican runoff.
The Alabama Republican Assembly, a 25-year-old statewide organization, says “Zeigler has been a watchdog for taxpayers.”
He faces off against State Rep. Wes Allen on Tuesday. Zeigler led the May primary with 43% to Allen’s 39%.
State ALRA President Don Wallace stated, “Jim Zeigler has been a watchdog for the Alabama taxpayers his entire career. He has stood for honest government, and the Alabama Republican Assembly believes he will stand strong for honest and transparent elections.”
“Jim Zeigler has been a conservative leader in our state, and the Alabama Republican Assembly recognizes his commitment to good government with our endorsement to be the next Secretary of State,” Wallace continued.
The winner of Tuesday’s Republican nomination faces Democrat Pamela Lafitte and Libertarian nominee Matt Shelby in the November general election.
On Thursday, Zeigler stated, “Over the next eight years, the job of Secretary of State will be vital. We face national attempts to manipulate honest election procedures. Alabama needs a proven fighter against government overreach to be our fighting Secretary of State.”
