ESRW February 8th Lunch Meeting and Congressional District 1 Forum.

Congressman Jerry Carl Bio:

Congressman Jerry Carl currently represents Alabama’s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he has been a steadfast supporter of Trump’s America First Agenda and implementing solid conservative policy across Alabama.

First elected in 2020, Jerry Carl has been a conservative workhorse while others have chosen to be a show horse with little to actually show for their time in Congress.

Jerry continually fights to hold Joe Biden accountable for his open-borders policy that has set new records for illegal border crossings and dangerous drugs coming into the country. He worked to pass one of the strongest border security bills in history, provided funding to build a border wall, and hire a record number of Border Patrol agents.

He supports a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution and believes Members of

Congress should go without pay until they balance the budget. Jerry even refused to accept a taxpayer-funded salary before a potential government shutdown.

As a 100% pro-life conservative, Jerry has opposed any tax dollars being used to fund abortions because he believes life is a gift from God and has co-sponsored dozens of bills in Congress to protect the unborn during his time in Congress.

With a background in starting several businesses and creating jobs, Jerry believes government spending is out-of-control. Throughout his time in elected office, he has consistently voted against wasteful spending and supported the largest deficit reduction and spending cuts ever voted on by Congress.

No matter how hard Joe Biden and the Far-Left work to fundamentally change our country and strip away our rights, Jerry Carl won’t let them.

Married to his wife, Tina, they have two children and two grandchildren together. Raised by a single mother, Jerry has always understood that rolling up one’s sleeves to get the job done is what is needed to get our economy, country, and local communities back on track from the failed policies of the fringe elements on the other side.
