Kay Ivey in 2018 AL Governor's race

On Government Reform: Prohibit lobbyists from serving in the executive branch

Gov. Kay Ivey's campaign accused her Democratic rival of unveiling a "so-called ethics plan" over the weekend that includes provisions already enacted by the Ivey administration. "While Walt Maddox has been busy writing campaign promises, Kay Ivey has actually been leading ethics reform efforts and cleaning up Montgomery. In addition to the list republished by Walt Maddox, Kay Ivey has also prohibited lobbyists from serving in the executive branch, replaced nearly half the cabinet from the previous administration and shut down unnecessary tasks forces," the Ivey campaign said in a statement.

Ivey's campaign pointed to executives orders, policies and bills signed by the governor to strengthen transparency in government, including banning the use of loaned executives, preventing nepotism involving state contracts and greater accountability for companies seeking economic development projects in Alabama.
