CULLMAN — The Alabama Farmers Federation has endorsed Heath Allbright for Alabama House of Representatives District 11 to replace the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Rep. Randall Shedd, R-Fairview.

Gov. Kay Ivey has set the primary election for May 13.

Allbright is a lifelong native of Cullman County. He graduated from Holly Pond High School and received his associate’s degree in agricultural science from Snead State Community College.

He has served two terms on the Cullman County School Board, with his last term ending in December 2024. He owns Brighton Forestry Services, a timber company doing business in north Alabama and eastern Mississippi.

“I am honored to have the endorsement of the Alabama Farmers Federation,” Allbright said. “They represent a strong work ethic and the honesty and integrity that the people of House District 11 are known for having.”

District 11 covers northeast Cullman County and northern Blount County.

“Heath Allbright has served us well in the past, and he will work hard for us in the Legislature to make sure the people of this county are represented well in Montgomery,” said Cullman County Farmers Federation President Lee Haynes.

Blount County Farmers Federation President Jeff Maze echoed Haynes’ support.

“Heath Allbright has a strong work ethic. He knows the needs of fellow farmers and businesses of Blount County, and he will work hard for us in Montgomery,” Maze said.

Allbright and his wife, Breann, have two children and reside on their family farm in Holly Pond.

The Alabama Farmers Federation is the state’s largest farm organization with more than 362,000 member families. It uses a true grassroots approach to endorse candidates relying on decisions made by county Federation boards for local elections.
