ENDORSEMENTS
Johnny Brewer
Educator/Performing Arts Director
I have known Jeff for almost 40 years. I have witnessed and have been a part of his enthusiasm and leadership on issues that matter for almost that long. Jeff says what he means and does what he says he will do. Even though I don’t live in District 27, I highly endorse and encourage our friends and others who do vote in District 27 to support Jeff as a Representative for not only our community, but for our families and all of Alabama.
Dr. Bart Reeves
Educator/School Administrator
Jeff is a fine man with the congressional experience that is so highly needed to represent our district. I recently asked a former representative what he thought of Jeff and his reply was 'Jeff is the most intelligent man I ever worked with in Montgomery. To me, experience, intelligence, and simply doing what is right because it is the right thing to do and not necessarily because it is the most popular thing to do. This is why my family and I are voting for Jeff.

I am supporting Jeff McLaughlin because I am a lifelong resident of Arab, Alabama and Marshall County and I love my home. I feel as if Jeff will represent me and ALL the people of District 27 well because he has the respect from both sides of the aisle in Montgomery and works well with all. I believe him to be a fair and honest man, a Christian man, and a family man. He is just real. He has a servant's heart to serve all the people of District 27 well. My family and I will be voting for Jeff.

I support Jeff McLaughlin in the District 27 race because he does not take contributions from anyone. That means he will not be obligated to favor any group or individual and he can do what is best for all of the citizens of our district. He is honest, and experienced in the ways of the legislature. He will represent us very well in Montgomery.

I’ve known Jeff McLaughlin my entire life and I know that Jeff is a hardworking man. I’ve seen him in his yard pulling weeds and outside his garage working on his cars with his sons. Seeing a man like Jeff, who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty, means a lot to someone like me who is classified as a blue collar worker. I can surely say that Jeff is going to work as hard as he can for District 27. Please join my wife and me and vote Jeff McLaughlin for District 27 Representative.

There has been a clear deficit of reason in Montgomery during Jeff McLaughlin’s absence. Our educators, faith leaders, farmers, and middle-class families have paid a steep price for the highly partisan, overreaching, and expensive legislation passed without his distinguished and sensible leadership. For the decade prior, our legislature enjoyed the presence of a champion for transparency, good government, and honest leadership in Representative McLaughlin. Let’s restore that resolute voice of reason for District 27 by re-electing Jeff McLaughlin.

Supporter/Friend
I am proud to endorse the candidate with nearly a decade of experience championing the interests District 27’s voters. Jeff McLaughlin, a community leader and public servant in every sense of the word, is that candidate.
Lauded as the Alabama Legislature’s ‘Last Honest Man,’ Jeff is one of the few remaining politicians to not be held hostage by a party agenda. With ethics that can’t be bought, you can be assured that Jeff will work hard for you in Montgomery. I believe it is imperative that we send Jeff back and re-elect him to represent District 27.
Wayne Washam
Band Director Emeritus Arab High School
I believe Jeff McLaughlin is a man of integrity who will work tirelessly to benefit the citizens of Alabama District 27. He has an excellent record of past service.
