On Monday, Republican Jerry Carl announced he is filing for reelection to continue representing Alabama’s First Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. The Republican primary will be held on March 5, 2024. 

“Today, I’m proud to announce I am filing for reelection to continue representing the people of Alabama’s First Congressional District in Congress, Carl said in a press release. 

“At a time when our borders are being overrun, crime is on the rise in cities across America, and Joe Biden continues leading our country down the wrong path, this country needs more staunch conservatives like me who will deliver results and never back down from the fight,” Carl continued.

“I’m proud of the work my team and I have accomplished already for AL-01. Whether it’s our efforts to secure the border, slash wasteful government spending, stop overreach by the Biden admin, and stand firm against any efforts to take away our Constitutional rights, we’ve got a lot of work to be done in Washington, and the stakes are simply too high for us to let our foot off the gas and give up on the fight to save this country. Serving Alabama’s First Congressional District in Washington has been the honor of a lifetime, and I am excited to have new counties across the Wiregrass in our district. I’ve already been on the ground in every county in the district, and I’ve been overwhelmed with strong support from folks in every community,” Carl concluded. 

Carl has been endorsed by nearly 30 state lawmakers and local leaders in AL-01 and has raised $257,474 for his reelection campaign in the 3rd quarter of 2023. 

Carl was born in Mobile and started his first company at 25. He has started over ten different companies ranging from real estate to healthcare and timber. He and his wife Tina have been married for 37 years.
