¶ 2. Geography and Communities
- Supplied Census 2025 SLDU footprint intersects Crenshaw, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties. Its bounding box is west -86.503948, south 31.440072, east -85.852718, north 32.769225. The supplied district geometry and Census TIGER/Line geography files are distinct from municipal boundaries.
- Mapped place overlaps: Montgomery and Pike Road are partial overlaps. Holtville, Redland, Emerald Mountain, Luverne, Wetumpka, Blue Ridge, Rutledge, Eclectic, Brantley, Dozier, Petrey, and Glenwood are each nearly entirely within the mapped district footprint. Tallassee is a partial overlap. These are mapped extents, not population shares or claims that every address in a municipality is in the district.
- No institution point-in-district GIS overlay is supplied. Institutional addresses and county or regional service areas below identify local connections, not proof that a specific facility lies inside the district.
- ALDOT’s FY2025 Annual Report describes State Route 9 through Brantley, Luverne, Montgomery, and Wetumpka. The corridor includes segments carrying U.S. Routes 331 and 231; the state-route description does not establish U.S. 331 through every listed town. The report separately describes State Route 14 through Wetumpka and Tallassee.
- The Alabama Department of Environmental Management Tallapoosa River Basin report identifies Eclectic and Wetumpka among communities in the watershed and describes the Tallapoosa meeting the Coosa at Wetumpka to form the Alabama River. ADEM’s Coosa River Basin report also describes the Coosa-Tallapoosa confluence at Wetumpka. These are regional watershed connections.
¶ 3. Population and Electorate
- District population: 148,680, margin of error ±2,987; ACS 2020–2024 five-year estimate, not a county total. Source: Census Reporter API delivering Census Bureau ACS 2024 5-year data.
- Median household income: $77,727 in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars, margin of error ±$2,893; same district geography and ACS vintage.
- Poverty universe: 144,790, margin of error ±2,956; persons below poverty: 15,672, margin of error ±1,727; same district geography and ACS vintage.
- These are survey estimates, not voter counts. No district-specific registration or electorate count is asserted here.
¶ 4. Elections and Political Context
- The 2021 Alabama state Senate map was used for the 2026 election following the court sequence. A federal court adopted a remedial Senate plan on November 17, 2025; the Eleventh Circuit stayed the injunction on May 28, 2026, and on June 8 vacated and remanded the underlying orders for further consideration. Sources: Eleventh Circuit June 8 order, Governor’s May 29 announcement, and official Senate map. The remedial map and the 2021 Alabama state Senate map are distinct.
- The Governor called a special primary for Districts 25 and 26 for August 11, 2026. Her May 29 announcement stated that May 19 primary results for those districts were void. The Secretary of State’s 2026 election page lists the special-primary date and certification materials.
- Dated officeholder reference: the Alabama Legislature directory lists Senator Will Barfoot, Republican, as representing District 25 and names Crenshaw, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties. The directory/officeholder record is separate from candidacy.
- General-election candidates are not evidence of incumbency: Phadra Carson Foster (Democratic) was certified August 26, 2026 (state certification); Will Barfoot (Republican) was certified September 2, 2026 (amended party certification).
- The November 3, 2026 general election remained upcoming on the collection date, October 8, 2026; no general-election result or primary vote total is asserted.
¶ 5. Economic and Civic Anchors
- Crenshaw County’s Economic and Industrial Development Authority employer listing gives county-level reported employee counts with no stated reporting vintage: Smart of Alabama, LLC (automotive frames, 750); Dongwon Autopart Technology Alabama LLC (automotive parts, 260 in the major-employers table); Crenshaw County Schools (300); Sister Schubert’s Homemade Rolls, Inc. (233); Crenshaw Community Hospital (150); Luverne Health & Rehabilitation, LLC (182); Crenshaw County Government (85); Pepsi Bottling Co. of Luverne (80 in one listing and 78 in a second); Southern Field Maintenance & Fabrication (150); and Petrey Wholesale, Inc. (69). The same EIDA source lists Dongwon at 206 in its major-manufacturing-employers table, distinct from the 260 figure in the general employer table. These are county-context listings, not district employment totals.
- The EIDA manufacturing table also lists Chowel Weldparts (robotic tips and welding, 65 employees) and Browder Veneer (wood veneer and hardwood chips, 71 employees). The authority notes locally owned logging and poultry-house businesses as contributors to the county economy.
- Health and education anchors in Luverne: Crenshaw Community Hospital lists its facility at 101 Hospital Drive, Luverne. Lurleen B. Wallace Community College describes its Luverne Center as an instructional center established for adult education and business and industry training, and identifies Crenshaw County among the counties it serves. These are local and regional service connections.
- Elmore County’s Economic Development Authority employer page lists GKN Aerospace, Hanil USA, Neptune Technology Group, and AES Industries in Tallassee; MADIX, Inc. in Eclectic; and AG Manufacturing, Wind Creek Hospitality, and Elmore Community Hospital in Wetumpka. The source is a county economic-development listing, not a district-specific employment measure.
- Healthcare connection in Tallassee: Community Hospital identifies its address in Tallassee and says it serves Elmore, Macon, and Tallapoosa Counties. The service area is regional and extends beyond District 25.
- Civic and cultural anchors: the Elmore County Commission is based at the historic courthouse in Wetumpka. The Alabama Historical Commission places Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson Park in Elmore County about one mile south of Wetumpka; it is a nearby regional historic site.
- Montgomery regional connections: the Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce employer profile identifies employers including Baptist Health and Auburn University at Montgomery. The Chamber’s metropolitan employer context is not a district employer count.
¶ 6. People and Organizations to Map
- Officeholder: Will Barfoot; the legislative directory, rather than the candidate certifications, is the source for his District 25 representation.
- County and regional institutions: Crenshaw County Economic and Industrial Development Authority; Crenshaw County Schools; Lurleen B. Wallace Community College Luverne Center; Crenshaw Community Hospital; Elmore County Economic Development Authority; Elmore County Commission; Community Hospital; Elmore Community Hospital; Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce; Alabama Historical Commission.
- Economic organizations and employers: Smart of Alabama, LLC; Dongwon Autopart Technology Alabama LLC; Sister Schubert’s Homemade Rolls, Inc.; Petrey Wholesale, Inc.; Southern Field Maintenance & Fabrication; Chowel Weldparts; Browder Veneer; Pepsi Bottling Co. of Luverne; GKN Aerospace; Hanil USA; Neptune Technology Group; MADIX, Inc.; AG Manufacturing; Wind Creek Hospitality.
- Correlation question 1: What relationship, if any, exists between the district’s overlap with Crenshaw County and the employer mix reported by Crenshaw County EIDA, including automotive manufacturing, food distribution, health care, and schools?
- Correlation question 2: What relationship, if any, connects education and healthcare access in mapped Luverne, Wetumpka, and Tallassee communities with Lurleen B. Wallace Community College Luverne Center and local hospitals?
- Correlation question 3: What relationship, if any, exists between regional river and transportation corridors and civic/economic connections among Wetumpka, Tallassee, Eclectic, Montgomery, and Luverne?
¶ 7. Representation and Legislative Work
- The Alabama Legislature member directory lists Will Barfoot as the Republican senator for District 25 and lists Crenshaw, Elmore, and Montgomery Counties. The Legislature’s legislative-process portal is the official chamber process reference.
- Crenshaw County-specific proposal: Alabama SB339 (2026), introduced by Senator Barfoot and first read March 3, proposed under local legislation to authorize specified law-enforcement protective custody and transport for evaluation of a person believed to have mental illness. Source: introduced bill text. This describes the bill text, not enactment.
- Other 2026 proposals identified in the introduced bill sponsor lines as by Senator Barfoot: SB240 proposed remote participation in parole hearings by telephone, video conference, or similar systems (introduced text). SB298 proposed minimum staffing requirements for Class 3 municipal police agencies and related state oversight measures (introduced text; engrossed text). These are bill proposals, not evidence of enactment.
- The named directory and bill records support the listed representation and legislative activity; no additional committee assignment or enactment status is asserted.
