State Sen. Garlan Gudger, a two-term senator from Cullman, was elected as President Pro Tempore of the Alabama Senate in a unanimous vote. Gudger, who survived a near-death accident last summer, expressed gratitude for the prayers and support he received during his recovery. He vowed to justify the faith and trust placed in him by his colleagues and outlined top priorities for the 2025 legislative session, including education, public safety, immigration, and fiscal responsibility. Gudger’s nomination came after former Pro Tem Greg Reed stepped down, and he was formally nominated by Senate Majority Leader Steve Livingston and seconded by Minority Leader Bobby Singleton. As Governor Kay Ivey outlines her priorities for the state, Gudger emphasized the importance of making Alabama a better place for all residents. The new President Pro Tempore is committed to working towards a safer, more prosperous, and more secure future for the state.
