Former Alabama House Speaker Mac McCutcheon has endorsed Wes Allen in the Republican race for lieutenant governor.

McCutcheon, who most recently served as chairman of the Madison County Commission before retiring last month, announced his support in a statement released by Allen’s campaign.

“I worked with Wes in the legislature and I saw, first-hand, his commitment to our conservative values, fighting to pass Republican legislation and standing strong against efforts to bring the liberal agenda to Alabama’s government,” McCutcheon said. “Wes Allen has my vote and my full endorsement.”

Allen, Alabama’s current secretary of state, said he was honored to receive the endorsement, pointing to their time serving together in the Legislature.

“His service to the state is a great example of servant leadership,” Allen said. “During our time serving in the legislature together, we were able to ban transgender surgeries and hormones for minors, passed the strongest abortion law in the country and made our communities safer with the passage of Aniah’s Law.”

McCutcheon served as speaker of the Alabama House from 2016 to 2022 and later led the Madison County Commission.

Allen is seeking the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in the May 19, 2026 primary election.
