What many Alabamians do not realize is how successful our Alabama Community College System (ACCS) has become over the last decade under the guidance and leadership of Chancellor Jimmy Baker. Most state colleges and junior colleges have seen the numbers of enrollees decline in recent years; however, not in Alabama.
As the Alabama Legislature convenes for its 2025 Regular Legislative Session this week, the State Senate will have a new President Pro Tem. Forty-nine year old Sen. Garlan Gudger of Cullman will ascend to the top leadership post in the Alabama Senate.
Gudger was chosen by the Republican caucus in a December meeting and will be affirmed and elected officially this week. He is a solid Republican but is liked by the Democrats. They believe that he will be as fair as Greg Reed. Gudger is young enough to be a lifetime Republican. He is a solid mainstream Republican and not relegated to a right-wing corner, which bodes well with working with the eight Democrats. He represents the counties of Cullman, Marion, and Winston. It is one of the most Republican areas of the state. In fact, one of his counties, the “Free State of Winston,” was Republican when the other 66 counties in the state were voting Democratic.
In 2004, Garlan Gudger became the youngest member in the history of the City of Cullman to be elected to the Cullman City Council. He served on the Council for 14 years and was elected to serve as President of the Council for the last ten years. He was elected to the State Senate in 2018.
