Richard C. Shelby
Richard C. Shelby is a retired U.S. Senator from Alabama, known for his influential role in federal spending and earmark politics over his 36-year career. Renowned for securing billions in federal funds for his state, Shelby was considered one of the last great pork barrel politicians in Congress before retiring in 2022. His legacy continues to influence Alabama's political landscape, particularly as current politicians, like his successor Katie Britt, grapple with the implications of spending cuts initiated by President Trump.
