Today Donald J. Trump
announced Chess Bedsole will serve as the Campaign State Director in

Mr. Trump stated, "My message to
Make America Great Again
has been so overwhelmingly well received, drawing record crowds and
putting me in first place in all the polls. America is crippled
right
now and Washington, DC is broken. Our politicians are not capable
or
competent enough to fix our problems. We will continue to build out a
substantial campaign team that allows us to take our message across the
country and continue to share my vision to Make America Great Again".

well as the Alabama Republican Party.
