Chester C. McCutcheon, known as Mac McCutcheon (born July 15, 1952),[1] is the current Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives, a Republican who was first elected to the state legislature in 2006. He represents District 25 in Limestone and Madison counties in northern Alabama and resides in Athens in Madison County.
McCutcheon graduated in 1970 from John Sparkman High School[1] in Harvest in Madison County, but the school was then located in nearby Toney. He holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. He was a police officer in Huntsville prior to his election to the legislature. He has also farmed and is a member of the College Park Church of God in Huntsville. He has also been a pastor.[2]
In his first victory in 2006 and in his reelections of 2010 and 2014, McCutcheon ran without opposition in the general election.[3]
In August 2017, Senator Arthur Orr, a Decatur Republican, announced that he will introduced a bill in 2018, an election year, to permit county commissions to raise a local gasoline tax for specific road projects.[4] Speaker McCutcheon said that while Orr's bill will be discussed, he noted that similar legislation has died in past session, and passage would be unlikely because, "in an election year, the reality of getting legislators to vote for any type of revenue measure will be tough."[4]
