Tommy Barnes, a Colbert County Commissioner for District 1, is seeking election to the U.S. House to represent Alabama's 4th Congressional District in 2026. A graduate of Sheffield High School and the University of Alabama, he has a background as an engineering manager and holds experience in energy, industrial jobs, water and wastewater operations, education, and coaching. He currently serves as the 2026 ATVG President. Barnes' campaign is centered on term limits, infrastructure investment, and economic development, arguing that the district has suffered from inadequate federal engagement and a lack of high-paying jobs under the incumbent's nearly 30-year tenure.
