Troy City Council President Marcus Paramore announced his candidacy today to seek the Republican nomination for the District 89 seat in the Alabama legislature, according to a recent press release.
Surrounded by a crowd of approximately 70 supporters outside of Troy’s City Hall, Paramore announced he intended to run with a “focus on economic development and the protection of traditional conservative values in Pike and Dale counties.” Promising to run on a campaign centered around family, faith, and hard work, Paramore explained, “I want to work every day to make District 89 a great place to live and to raise children and grandchildren. I am so proud to live here and to have raised my family here. I know that we have so much to offer and that we can continue to grow while keeping our conservative values.”
Paramore’s tenure on Troy’s City Council resulted in heavy involvement in various recruiting industries such as Kimber and Rex Lumber and a number of national retailers. Passionate about fostering the expanding labor market in District 89, Paramore is also a staunch advocate against awarding able-bodied employees incentives to not work.
Currently, the District 89 seat in the Alabama legislature is held by Rep. Wes Allen (R-Troy). Allen has announced that he will not run for re-election but instead will run for the Office of Alabama Secretary of State.
The Republican Primary election will be held on May 24, 2022.
