April 2, 2010 – Thad Turnipseed Receives Backing of US Steel Corp. for Alabama State Senate District 5 Campaign
April 3, 2010
Fairfield, AL – West Jefferson County’s largest employer, US Steel Corporation, has endorsed Thad Turnipseed, candidate for Alabama State Senate District 5. The US Steel operation based in Fairfield employs over a thousand West Jefferson and West Alabama residents. Turnipseed’s campaign platform emphasizes a non-partisan, results-oriented approach to Montgomery.
Issues of concern in District 5 include employment, recession recovery, and a desire to change the political wrangling in Montgomery that prevents timely, practical solutions to major problems. As a small business owner and administrator for University of Alabama Athletics, Turnipseed has faced issues ranging from meeting payroll as a small business owner to working with large groups on multi-million dollar projects, with success at all levels.
