This week was bittersweet as Representative Randall Shedd announced his resignation to pursue a new opportunity. Before finishing his final days in office, he shared a message with AREA’s members. Thank you, Rep. Shedd, for championing rural Alabama and its electric cooperatives!

In order to keep Alabama’s economy growing, we’ve got to make sure we have the power to support it. That’s why I signed the Powering Growth legislation today. It will ensure our energy infrastructure is robust to meet industry demands. #alpolitics governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2025/…
