Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Bobby Martin, a North Alabama resident, pastor, small-town neighbor, and community advocate. I serve as pastor of Cowboy Church of Franklin County, where I work with families from all walks of life and see firsthand the challenges people face with jobs, healthcare access, rising costs, and a lack of opportunity close to home.

Before entering public service, my life has been centered on helping people—through ministry, community outreach, and supporting local families and small businesses. I’m also a husband and a father, and like many families in District 6, I want my children and grandchildren to be able to build their lives here without having to move away for opportunity.

I’m running for the Alabama State Senate because I believe District 6 deserves leadership that listens, shows up, and puts people ahead of politics. My focus is on strengthening our local economy, improving access to healthcare, supporting working families, and ensuring our rural communities are not left behind.
