The people of Alabama elected me to do a job not to sit in an ivory tower. The very first day that I walked into the office they asked me what kind of car I wanted to order for myself-that’s ridiculous. So for that reason I have done my best to streamline things at the Commission. I believe that public service is truly that-servicing the public. The one thing I do anytime I give a speech anywhere is I thank people for allowing me to serve them. One grandparent was a row-crop farmer and one was a chicken farmer so I come from a humble Alabama background and I want to serve. That is what I want.ĪPR: Anything else along those lines you are thinking about?ĬAVANAUGH: My husband is a veterinarian, my mom was a school teacher, my dad was a salesman, my grandparents were both farmers. He needs to be able to go out and have all sorts of opportunities knocking down his door and know that there is room for advancement. I have a son that just graduated from college. There needs to be more opportunity for advancement. Today a person doesn’t have to stay in the same job for 35 years and get a gold watch. The ones that have wanted to make a move and do something different. Not just get back to work those that are unemployed but also the underemployed. Real jobs are created by real entrepreneurs in Alabama so that Alabama families can get back to work. Under my leadership I will set the Public Service Commission’s premiere objective as job creation and what we can do is use every tool in our economic tool-belt to bring better-paying jobs to the state of Alabama.Īnd like I said, government has never created a job. I don’t think you can sit on the sidelines, I think you need a vision, I think you need a goal. By clicking subscribe, you agree to our privacy policy.
