Alabama Republican House Caucus announces 2025 agenda

Published 5:37 pm Monday, February 10, 2025

The Alabama House Republican Caucus “Alabama Values” agenda for the 2025 legislative session will differ slightly from the House’s agenda of past years. 

Instead of focusing on specific bills, this year the House Caucus will focus on broad categories of conservative principles. This year’s “Alabama Values Committee” was co–chaired by State Rep. Kerry “Bubba” Underwood, R-Tuscumbia, and State Rep. James Lomax, R-Huntsville. According to a joint statement, GOP House members had so many quality bills this session, the committee decided to focus on principals instead of individual bills. At the end of the session, the committee will release a list of balls which passed and what category they fit into. 

The principles in the 2025 House Republican Caucus “Alabama Values” agenda are:

Alabama Values Work Ethic and Job Creation — Bills focusing on job creation, economic development and low unemployment.
Alabama Values Border Protection — Bills that discourage illegal immigrants from locating in Alabama as well as bills that repair the economic and societal damage resulting from the irresponsible open border policies.
Alabama Values Honest Elections — Bills that strengthen election integrity and voter protection. Alabama House Republicans will block any effort to repeal existing honest election protections and continue to add additional fail-safe measures to keep our system honest.

Alabama Values Public Safety — Bills that focus on people’s safety in their homes, jobs, schools, shopping places, and other areas, but violent crime and other offenses have affected too many of our cities, streets and neighborhoods. Alabama House Republicans will work local and state law enforcement offices to provide needed resources to combat crime.

Alabama Values Public Education — Bills related to education funding and classroom resources in Alabama.
Alabama Values Active Military and Veterans — Bills focusing on active duty military personnel, their dependents, and veterans. 

Alabama Values Innocent Life and Families — Pro-life bills as well as legislation supporting non-profit agencies that provide services to infants, children and families.

Alabama Values Common Sense — Legislation that pushes back against “woke policies and radical efforts that attack our morals and work to change the fundamental beliefs that make our state such a special place to live, work, worship, and raise families.”
