Jim Surpeon, Alabama state senator, spoke before the Bethan Exchange Club to a crowd of over 100. He avoided endorsing any Senate run, praised Alabama gains in pardons, pensions, and education, and criticized federal bureaucratic overreach including price controls and employment rules. The crowd erupted only at the mention of bringing government home to state and local levels.
