2022 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Free Trade


Andy Beshear: Worked to remove harmful tariffs against bourbon industry

Kentucky was already the worldwide leader in bourbon production, but in 2021 we saw the industry continue to expand, both in production and tourism. I must say a special personal thank you to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, whom I personally worked with to remove harmful bourbon tariffs and ensure a bright future for a signature industry.

Kay Ivey: Proud to invite the world to do business at Alabama's Port

Thanks to Rebuild Alabama, we are also making improvements to Alabama's Deepwater Port in Mobile. With the current global supply issues, having an international resource in the Port of Mobile is ever more critical. As a matter of fact, our exports are up almost 25%. To the rest of the nation, I say loud and clear that Alabama's Port of Mobile is open for business! We are proud to invite the nation and the world to do business with Alabama at our Port.
