Alabama Citizens for Life Endorses John Jacobs in House District 37 Runoff

June 11, 2026 - RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ala. - Alabama Citizens for Life (ACL), the state affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee, has endorsed conservative educator John Jacobs in the Republican runoff for House District 37, adding momentum to his campaign ahead of the June 16, 2026 election.

ACL President Dan Gardner formally recognized Jacobs as a "Pro-Life Leader," urging Republican voters in the district to support him in the upcoming runoff. In a statement, Gardner said Alabama Citizens for Life "urges all voters in Alabama House District 37 to vote for [Jacobs] on June 16, 2026."

Jacobs, a lifelong Randolph County resident, spent four decades in education - including 31 years as a school administrator and most recently as Superintendent of Randolph County Schools. Alongside his career in public education, he is also a cattle rancher and pecan grower, grounding his campaign in rural, community‑focused values.

Running on a platform of limited government, educational excellence, constitutional rights, and traditional conservative principles, Jacobs said the ACL endorsement reflects his long‑held commitment to protecting life.

"I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement from Alabama Citizens for Life," Jacobs said. "As a conservative Christian, husband, father, and proud grandfather, standing up for those who are unable to stand for themselves has always been among my most strongly held beliefs. I look forward to continuing that fight when I serve the people of District 37 in the House of Representatives."

The Republican primary runoff for House District 37 will be held Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
