Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl released the following statement regarding the passing of State Representative David Wheeler (R-Vestavia Hills):
“We are absolutely heartbroken by the news of Rep. Wheeler’s passing. He was a stalwart in our Party for many years – long before his election to the Alabama Legislature. In addition to serving on our ALGOP Executive Committee and as our State Party Treasurer, Rep. Wheeler was a longtime member and past-Chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party Executive Committee, and an active member of the Mid Alabama Republican Club. His passion to serve the people of House District 47 cannot be understated and his presence in the Legislature will be sorely missed. Our prayers are with his family during this difficult time.”
