Public service is a public trust. And that trust must be earned. Dr. Tankersley believes the people of Alabama deserve a government that operates with honesty, transparency, and accountability.
His service on the Alabama Ethics Commission reinforced the importance of strong ethical standards and responsible oversight in government.
Dr. Tankersley believes taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent and that government agencies should be held accountable for delivering results.
Strong ethical standards and clear oversight help maintain public confidence in government and ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely. As Lieutenant Governor and presiding officer of the Alabama Senate, he will work with lawmakers to strengthen transparency in government operations, ensure responsible budgeting, and eliminate wasteful spending.
Dr. Tankersley believes Alabama’s government should always operate with the same principles that guide families and businesses across the state: responsibility, honesty, and accountability.
