BIPAC Action Fund Endorses Luther Strange in the U.S. Senate Special Election America’s First Pro-Business Political Action Committee Supports Luther Strange

WASHINGTON DC – Today, the Business-Industry Political Action Committee’s Action Fund has announced its endorsement of Luther Strange – in the Alabama special U.S. Senate Republican run-off election.

"Senator Luther Strange has shown himself to be a pragmatic member of the Senate and one willing to work on the tough issues facing our country's economy. His experience in elected office shows a record of accomplishments that promote a pro-growth environment for business and provides his constituents with jobs and economic success. I see him as a common sense, pro-business advocate that is looking to solve problems," said BIPAC President and CEO Jim Gerlach.

A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Luther Strange served as the Attorney General of Alabama for six years before his appointment to the . While Attorney General, Strange established a reputation for fighting public corruption and following the facts wherever they lead. The professional investigations team he pulled together had the best record in the country, with more than two dozen convictions during his tenure. Luther joined other Republican Attorneys General across the country to hold Washington, D.C. accountable to the rule of law and stop federal government regulatory overreach.

Since his appointment to the U.S. Senate, Strange has served on committees that have a direct impact on the people and industries of Alabama - the Senate Committees on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry; Armed Services; Budget; and Energy and Natural Resources.

All candidates endorsed and supported by the BIPAC Action Fund have been recommended and vetted by a non-partisan volunteer committee of business who represented various industries. The endorsements were vetted by local businesses and business groups who participated in the decision making process. The endorsements will be communicated to hundreds of corporation and business trade association political action committees.
