State Employees PAC Endorses Sparks, FolsomToday the Alabama State Employees Association’s Political Action Committee, SEA-PAC, released their list of endorsed statewide candidates including Ron Sparks for Governor and Lieutenant Governor Jim Folsom, Jr. ASEA was started over 60 years ago to be a voice for state employees. Today, there are more than 34,000 state employees. “SEA-PAC endorsed these candidates for one simple reason; they support state employees,” says Mac McArthur, ASEA Executive Director. “It is clear that their intentions are to put the interests of state employees and their families as a priority. In today’s climate, that is a must.” “The unique aspect of SEA-PAC is that our members have a say in who is endorsed,” continues McArthur. “Members voted on the recommendations made by the SEA-PAC Steering Committee. Looking at the list, one can see that the best candidates were selected” “As a former state employee, I know how important this endorsement is,” says Ron Sparks. “I am truly honored that SEA-PAC has decided to endorse me. In my 8 years as Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, I know how hard the employees of the state of Alabama work to move this state forward and I value each and every one of them. They know that I have a plan and a vision to make sure we get additional revenue to the state without raising taxes on the hardworking families of Alabama. We are going to create new jobs, rebuild our roads and highways, give scholarships to every high school graduate and expand pre-k to every four-year-old who wants it. I look forward to working with our state employees to accomplish this for every Alabama family.” SEA-PAC also endorsed Jim Folsom, Jr. for Lieutenant Governor. “I am greatly humbled and honored to once again receive the endorsement of ASEA in the race for Lt. Governor,” says Lieutenant Governor Jim Folsom, Jr. “The productive working relationship I have with Alabama’s hard working state employees is built on a foundation of mutual trust and respect. I appreciate the invaluable service state employees provide to the people of Alabama and I am certain that this endorsement will be key to our victory in November.” The SEA-PAC Steering Committee is composed of the ASEA Officers and one member of the ASEA Board of Directors from each ASEA district, as well as one individual per district elected to serve by fellow chapter SEA-PAC chairpersons.
