AL State Senator Arthur Orr

"Arthur now chairs the almost $15 Billion Senate Finance and Taxation Committee for state government.  He also chairs the Joint Legislative Fiscal Committee, Elections Commission, Wrongful Incarceration Committee and other State Boards.  Arthur sponsored legislation which brought transparency and accountability to state election laws through internet filing for candidates and other measures.  His law to put the state check-book and contacts online provided increased fiscal transparency to Alabama.  He continues to champion open and transparent government."

• SHCA endorsed Senator Arthur Orr by a unanimous vote in 2010.
• Senator Orr has earned great respect statewide and proven to be a true statesman. Although south Huntsville comprises only a tiny portion of District 3, we are fortunate to be represented by Senator Orr. He has once again demonstrated his commitment to promoting transparency in government by sponsoring SB205 in the AL State Senate. He championed the bill on the senate floor and finalized passage with a unanimous vote. We are sincerely grateful to Senator Orr for his integrity driven leadership.

AL State Senator Paul Sanford

"It's high time we clean up Montgomery. If we have been taught anything over the past few weeks, it's that the status quo in Montgomery must be challenged by a new breed of lawmakers - ones with a vision for honest, open state government and a clear path to get there..."

 

• SHCA endorsed Senator Paul Sanford for re-election in 2010.  With three years of experience in the AL State Senate, Senator Sanford has brought a bold and outspoken flare to the political scene in Huntsville. His conservative values and integrity are the cornerstones of this active style of governing. Senator Sanford has been a consistent "go to man" for SHCA due to his willingness to assist our community on issues ranging from education to business development and accountability in the HHA. We appreciate his dedication to the cultivation of honest and open government operations.

But now that the election is over, the real task of governing begins. Everyday, I will strive to bring about open, honest government that the good people of Alabama deserve. I look forward to voting in the majority for the first time and am excited about the bright future of our state."
