Senate President Pro Tem Greg Reed (R-Jasper) today released the following statement after Governor Kay Ivey signed Executive Order 724 to protect Alabamians from reckless federal Covid-19 mandates: 

“The Governor’s executive order is a positive first step toward protecting Alabamians from the vaccine mandates imposed by the federal government. This overreach by the Biden Administration puts individual freedom at risk and will cause significant economic challenges to industries across our state. I will continue working at the state level to protect Alabamians from this reckless mandate.” Reed said. “I will also continue to support Attorney General Steve Marshall’s efforts to challenge this mandate in federal court.”
