The Cullman Republican was elected to the state senate in 2018.
Alabama State Sen. Garlan Gudger was flown to UAB Hospital Thursday after he was injured in a jet ski accident on Smith Lake, officials say.
He is in ICU, but “his physicians indicate that the prognosis for his recovery is good,’' the release said.“From the first responders who were quickly on the scene to the members of the helicopter airlift unit to the doctors and nurses at UAB and everyone else who assisted during this accident, we offer our deepest thanks and recognition that each of them kept a difficult situation from being even worse.
“Everyone who knows Garlan is aware that he is a strong, tough, and energetic man who will recover from these injuries and continue serving the citizens of his district while promoting the conservative Alabama values that so many of us hold close.”Prior to that, Gudger in 2004 became the youngest person ever elected to the Cullman City Council. He spent 14 years on the council, including 10 as council president.
