For Alabama's 6th Congressional
District
Penny Huggins Bailey
is a longtime Leeds resident and graduate of Leeds High School and
Samford University. She served in the US Air Force and retired at
the rank of Colonel after 24 years of duty. Her last assignment
was as Vice Wing Commander at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. She was
responsible for 4,000 people and a budget of $4 billion.
Her husband, an Air Force
Colonel and still on active duty as a Flight Surgeon, will serve
his third deployment overseas this year. The Baileys have been married
for more than 30 years and have three children. Both were in the
Pentagon when it was struck by a hijacked airliner on 9/11.
“For twenty-four years
I had the honor to serve in the US Air Force where service before
self, excellence in all you do, and integrity were our core values,”
Colonel Bailey said. “I want to work to embody these values in Congress
on behalf of the people of Alabama’s 6th Congressional District.
Alabamians deserve a true public servant who puts professionalism
before partisan politics, and I know I have the background to do
Alabama proud in Washington.”
