MARION COUNTY, Ala., March 6, 2026 - The Alabama Farmers Federation has announced its endorsement of Kevin Bradford for Alabama House District 17, which covers portions of Lamar, Marion and Winston counties.

"He is someone we can count on. He has the leadership skills and experience to make a difference in the Legislature."

Bradford received his B.S. in biology with a minor in chemistry from the University of North Alabama and a master's in education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, focusing on health education and counseling. He has enjoyed a successful 30-year career in the insurance and financial services industry.
