Hoover was recently voted the safest school system in Alabama and 5th safest in the nation. My colleagues and I have worked hard to secure additional funds for school security, and the results have shown in the value our SROs (school resource officers) have provided for our children and teachers.
“Both (Superintendent) Dr. Murphy and Hoover High School Principal Don Hulin said one of the biggest reasons they’ve maintained their number one safety status is school resource officers.”
Education - and the safety our children in our school systems - continues to be a driving force for me as your representative. We can never stop improving in this area, and I will continue to make sure we are doing all we can to put our children and teachers in a position to be safe and successful in their mission.

From a third-grader advocating for her teachers with a PowerPoint to three high school students landing $250,000 to bring debate to schools across Alabama, Week 10 was a reminder of why this work matters. The Camp Safety Act cleared another unanimous vote, the Education Trust Fund budget headed to the Senate with a teacher pay raise included, and the Mountain Brook Fire Department received a grant for state-of-the-art paramedic training equipment.
The Camp Safety Act is headed for its Senate vote this week. One of David's bills clears the full legislature and reaches the Governor's desk. And with three weeks left in the session, the homestretch is officially underway.
Alabama passed Trey's Law. Now Congress is following our lead. I was on Capitol Hill this week as Senators Ted Cruz and Katie Britt filed the federal version of the bill - here's what that moment meant.
Crime victims are getting their funding restored, a Homewood pedestrian bridge is underway, and several of my bills are one step from final passage. A busy week in Montgomery - here's the full update.
A long Tuesday night in Montgomery produced three unanimous votes, and a major self-defense bill cleared its biggest Senate hurdle. Here's everything that moved in Week 7 - from arson reform to protecting houses of worship.
We had our weekly call with the Governor this morning, and she confirmed she will be giving a report to the people of Alabama Tomorrow
do expect the Governor to BEGIN lessening the restrictions and limitations imposed by the latest State Health Order as of May 1st.
