- Identity: Alabama Senate District 30; state FIPS 01; district key sldu:01:30; upper chamber. Alabama’s Legislature describes the legislative process and provides its Senate member directory.
- Chamber and map reference: Alabama Senate. The official Senate district map is labeled “As Of November, 2022”; the Secretary of State also provides state district maps and legal descriptions. The supplied district geometry is Census 2025, with Census TIGER 2024 county and place layers; it is not a population-share overlay.
- Representation: The dated officeholder extract (2026-09-30) and current Alabama Legislature directory identify Senator Clyde Chambliss (R), District 30. The directory lists Autauga, Chilton, Coosa, Elmore, and Tallapoosa counties. The canonical person name used here is Clyde Chambliss.
¶ 2. Geography and Communities
- Mapped extent: longitude -87.019157 to -85.844841 and latitude 32.307574 to 33.104695. The district intersects Autauga, Chilton, Coosa, Elmore, and Tallapoosa counties. Geometry references: official Senate map and U.S. Census TIGER/Line files.
- Mapped place overlaps: Alexander City (partial); Prattville (nearly entire mapped place); Pine Level, Stewartville, Marbury, Millbrook, Our Town, Hissop, Ray, Mount Olive, Autaugaville, Nixburg, Coosada, Goodwater, Elmore, Equality, Weogufka, Deatsville, Hanover, Maplesville, Rockford, Billingsley, and Kellyton (each nearly the entire mapped place); Clanton (partial). Partial or near-total mapped-place overlap does not mean all municipal residents or any particular institution are within the district. No institution-point boundary overlay is established here.
- Regional landscape: ADEM describes the Coosa River joining the Tallapoosa near Wetumpka to form the Alabama River; the agency's Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Alabama River basin reports provide basin context. The Tallapoosa report identifies Alexander City and Lake Martin in that watershed. Coosa County government lists Lake Martin, Lake Mitchell, Lay Lake, and Lake Jordan as having county shoreline. These are regional water systems, not assertions that every named water body lies inside the district.
- Transport connection: Millbrook's economic-development department identifies Interstate 65 access at Exits 176, 179, and 181, and Alabama Highways 14 and 143 as commercial corridors. The department also describes Montgomery as about ten miles south and regional airport and hospital access; those are regional connections, not district-boundary evidence.
¶ 3. Population and Electorate
- District population: 137,759, margin of error ±1,547; ACS 2020–2024 five-year estimate, delivered through the Census Reporter API. This is a district estimate, not a county total or voter count.
- Median household income: $65,754 in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars, margin of error ±$2,152; ACS 2020–2024 five-year district estimate from the same district API extract.
- Poverty: poverty-universe estimate 133,175 (MOE ±1,517); estimated 18,260 people below poverty (MOE ±1,754), ACS 2020–2024 five-year district figures. These are estimates, not voter counts; see the district API extract.
- Electorate: No district-specific registration or turnout total is established by these demographic measures. The Secretary of State publishes election and voter resources on its 2026 election page.
¶ 4. Elections and Political Context
- 2026 calendar: Alabama's statewide primary was May 19, the runoff June 16, and the general election November 3, 2026, according to the Secretary of State's 2026 election information.
- General-election nominee: Alabama Secretary of State certification materials list Clyde Chambliss, Jr. (Republican), certified August 28, 2026, for the District 30 general-election contest. The amended Republican certification records candidacy, not incumbency or an election result. The November 3 general election was still upcoming on the collection date; no result or primary vote total is inferred here.
- Map litigation chronology: A remedial Senate map was ordered on November 17, 2025. On May 28, 2026, the Eleventh Circuit stayed the injunction blocking the 2021 state Senate map; on June 8 it vacated the injunction and remanded for further proceedings. The dated records are the May 28 appellate order and June 8 order. The Governor's May 29 announcement also described use of the 2021 state Senate map. This chronology concerns statewide Senate-map litigation; it does not establish a district-specific boundary change for District 30.
- Historical election results: No district-specific prior-cycle result or 2026 primary totals are asserted in this dossier.
¶ 5. Economic and Civic Anchors
- Prattville and Autauga County context: The local Prattville Autauga Alabama Economic Development employer listing names International Paper, Autauga County Board of Education, Prattville Baptist Hospital, Medline Industries, James Hardie Building Products, and Kinedyne LLC among Prattville's largest employers. The City of Prattville describes its economic-development function as recruiting industrial, commercial, and retail activity.
- Millbrook and Elmore County context: The City of Millbrook's economic-development department describes access to I-65 and state highways and relationships with the Millbrook Area Chamber of Commerce and Elmore County Economic Development Authority. Elmore County's official overview lists GKN Aerospace, Neptune, Tallassee Community Hospital, and other countywide major employers.
- Coosa and Tallapoosa county connection: The Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance states its mission is to drive economic development and industrial job growth in both Tallapoosa and Coosa counties. Coosa County's business-startup resources point businesses to the alliance and the Coosa Chamber of Commerce.
- Alexander City healthcare and education: Russell Medical, at 3316 Highway 280 in Alexander City, says it serves Alexander City and the surrounding region and has belonged to the UAB Health System since 2020. Central Alabama Community College lists campuses in Alexander City and Prattville, connecting two mapped communities through regional higher education.
- Clanton and Chilton County context: The Chilton County Chamber identifies Adient's Clanton automotive seating plant as the county's largest employer, with more than 700 employees, and names additional county industries. The Jefferson State Community College Chilton-Clanton Campus listing gives its Clanton address. The Chamber says the Chilton County Industrial Development Authority works with K–12 education, Jefferson State, and workforce initiatives. Its health and wellness overview locates UAB St. Vincent's Chilton in Clanton and describes local hospital services and telemedicine.
- Legislative record: The official Alabama Legislature fiscal note for SB216 (2025) identifies Senator Chambliss as sponsor and the measure as Act 2025-409. As enacted, it allows qualifying ERS or TRS retirees to return as a firemedic or law-enforcement officer at a state college or university without suspension of retirement allowance, subject to a $52,000 annual compensation cap.

¶ 7. Representation and Legislative Work
- Representation: The Alabama Legislature's Senate member directory lists Senator Clyde Chambliss (R) for District 30 and names Autauga, Chilton, Coosa, Elmore, and Tallapoosa counties. The separate certified 2026 candidate listing is documented in section 4; it is not treated as proof of incumbency.
- Dated legislative work: The Alabama Legislature's official 2025 SB216 fiscal note identifies Chambliss as sponsor and records Act 2025-409 and its retiree-return-to-work provisions for firemedics and law-enforcement officers at state colleges and universities, with the stated compensation cap.
- Committee assignments: No committee assignment is asserted here; the linked member-directory entry consulted for this dossier supplies district and county listings but not committee assignments.
