The Alabama Republican Party executive committee met Saturday in Montgomery for its annual winter meeting and unanimously passed a resolution that commended former President Donald Trump as one of the greatest presidents in American history.
This resolution was submitted by several ALGOP executive committee members including former state Rep. Perry Hooper Jr. of Montgomery County, Jeana Boggs of Elmore County, Suzelle Josey of Autauga County, Rev. John Killian of Fayette County, Dennis Beavers of Blount County, Linda Overton of Houston County and Ann Bennett of Lee County.
The resolution includes the line: “President Donald J. Trump was one of the greatest and most effective Presidents in the 245-year history of this Republic.”
The resolution was passed without objection.
“I appreciate every member of the Alabama State Republican Executive for voting unanimously for the Resolution honoring President Donald J. Trump and recognizing President Trump as one of the greatest President’s ever,” Hooper said. “My two favorite President’s are Ronald and Donald. Both President Reagan and President Trump Made America Great Again and have the facts to back that statement up! I am also proud of our State Republican Executive Committee for passing my Resolution urging the House Republican Caucus to continue to have Congresswomen Liz Cheney removed as the House Republican Conference Chair for voting to impeach President Trump. President Trump has United the Republican Party! We will be ready to take the House and Senate Majority in 2022 and win the White House in 2024. I personally hope President Trump will run!”
“The media is trying to divide us,” Josey said. “Donald Trump is not going away.”
The resolution cited several of what Republicans view as accomplishments of Trump including:
- putting “the American people and the American worker first in all his decisions and policies”
- developing the “effective COVID -19 vaccines in record time”
- enacting “the largest tax cuts and reforms in American history by signing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law”
- withdrawing “from the job-and-trade-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership…and NAFTA”
- standing “up to China bringing back manufacturing industry to the U.S.”
- his decision to “withdrew from the job-killing Paris Climate Agreement”
- “record low unemployment rates for all Americans, including African, Hispanic and Asian-Americans prior to the pandemic”
- appointing “three constitutional conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court”
- building “up and bolstered all of the U.S. military branches around the world”
- the Space Force
- withdrawing “from the shady Iran nuclear deal”
- moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
- and “initiating the Israel-UAE (and other surrounding nations) accord providing more stability and commerce in the Middle East”
The resolution states that “President Trump accomplished more in 48 months than Joe Biden did in 48 years as a senator and vice president.”
The Alabama GOP also passed resolutions:
- thanking Congressman Mo Brooks for his service and leadership

- that Alabama’s congressional delegation support a proposed constitutional amendment to limit the Supreme Court to just nine justices
- urging that the Legislature pass Rep. Tommy Hanes legislation to remove the Confucius Institute from the campuses of Alabama’s colleges, universities and high schools
- urging that the U.S. House remove Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming, from her leadership position in the caucus
- urging that the Legislature revoke all calls for an Article V constitutional convention
- calling on the Alabama Commission on Higher Education to do a cost-benefit analysis before initiating any diversity or inclusion policies
