For the casual observer, taking a cursory look at our political leaders reveals that may we have some pretty old folks in positions of power.

Our new President, Donald Trump, is not a spring chicken at 78. Our own Alabama Governor Kay Ivey is 80 and goes by the monicker “Mee Maw.” However, a new generation of Alabama leaders are taking center stage in our state. Most of these leaders are already making their mark. Allow me to share with you a host of Alabama’s most prominent leaders who are 45 or younger. You will be surprised how many of our state’s most prominent leaders fit into this under 45 age group.
