Douglas Mayor Corey Hill running for Ag commissioner in 2026
Candidate position“Regulations are hard on farmers. We’re going to work to maintain those at a low level,” Hill said. “The Sweet Grown Alabama program the ag department has done has been phenomenal and I want to continue to expand that. Right now, there’s a program where they take farmers’ food and sell it to the schools’ lunch rooms. I’d love to expand that program. There was a rural crime division at one time that ran through the ag department, I’d love to bring that back. A lot of times, somebody steals your cattle trailer or your cows, it’s tough to get your local PD or your Sheriff’s Office, and they had a division for that at one time. I’d love to get that back in place. That’s important to our rural folks in the county.”

Ag commissioner candidate Corey Hill pushes for reviving rural crime task force, lower taxes, deregulation
Candidate positionPolicy“I think the federal government should send me a thank-you note about once a quarter, thanking me for paying taxes. But it seems like they’re always trying to trip you up,” he said. “… I’m an advocate for lower taxes, fewer regulations, and I work hard to make sure that our farmers and our industries can work hard to make a living, pay their bills, employ people without a bunch of crazy regulations.”
