Melissa and I and all of my campaign team have greatly appreciated your support throughout this campaign. I’m proud that you have selected me to be Alabama’s Republican nominee for the Office of Attorney General.
The people of Alabama have sent a strong message tonight. Voters from every corner of our state have made it clear they want to restore honesty, integrity and trust to the Office of Attorney General. They have spoken loudly that they want an attorney general who fights public corruption, stands against special interests and who will lead the fight to clean up the mess in Montgomery.
I stand ready to defend our rights and I’ll join with other Attorneys General across the country in the litigation over health care reform. Standing up to Washington’s growing government calls for conservative values and strong leadership. As we move towards November, the people of Alabama deserve to know whether my Democratic opponent is willing to stand up against government takeover of the health care system or duck out of the legal challenge and let liberal Washington Democrats dictate the health care of our families.
Republicans across Alabama know where I stand on the issue of cleaning up corruption and restoring the Office of Attorney General to the level of respect it projected under the leadership of Senator Jeff Sessions and Judge Bill Pryor.
It is the job of Attorney General to be a tough crime fighter and I’ll prosecute those who break our laws no matter who they are. I’m dedicated to enforcing the rule of law, regardless of personal views. I believe in a team-work approach to law enforcement and that’s why I am committed to working with District Attorneys and law enforcement officials across Alabama, giving them the support and cooperation they need to keep our communities safe and fight harmful special interests.
These are important — yet simple duties of the Attorney General. I’ll carry out these duties professionally and ethically, with strict interpretation of the law. The people of Alabama deserve no less.
I’m grateful to everyone who voted today, and I thank you for carrying out your civic duty. No matter whom you voted for in this primary – we are coming together for November. We must work together to continue Governor Riley’s work of cleaning up public corruption and finally making state government transparent and trustworthy. By sharing our conservative values we can do more than just talk about protecting children from predators — we can take action to put real programs in place that will help our families and keep our children safe. And by coming together as Republicans, we will tell liberal Washington Democrats to keep their hands out of our pockets and away from our personal freedoms.
I hope that you will join my campaign — you can visit my website at www.LutherStrange.com for more information. Together we can change Montgomery!
