From Association of County Commissions of Alabama
Elmore County, Alabama
Bart Mercer, Elmore County Commissioner, has been elected to serve as a member of the 2025-2026 Legislative Committee of the Association of County Commissions of Alabama (ACCA), the statewide association representing Alabama’s 67 county governments.
The ACCA’s Legislative Committee is composed of a chairman and a representative from each county. Mercer will represent the interests of Elmore County on the committee and work in concert with six steering committees to formulate the ACCA’s legislative agenda for the 2026 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature.
“Counties are a creation of the State, which means they can only do what the State authorizes them to do,” said Sonny Brasfield, ACCA Executive Director. “For this reason, counties must maintain an incredibly close working relationship with the Legislature, which is why serving on this committee is a tremendous honor and responsibility.”
The ACCA is a statewide organization speaking for all 67 counties with ONE voice. It promotes improved county government services in Alabama, offers educational programs for county officials and their staff members, administers insurance programs for county governments and employees, offers legal advice, and represents the interests of county government before state and federal organizations and agencies.
