Gerrick D. Wilkins
Gerrick Wilkins chose to run for the U.S. Congress in direct opposition to the all-too-common malady of career politicians. After witnessing the pitfalls of prolonged political tenures and government intrusion, Wilkins is committed to a three-term limit and is on a mission to rekindle the founders’ vision of citizen legislators.
Driven by President Reagan’s ethos of “everyone can help someone,” Wilkins is a stalwart advocate for America and actively involved in mission work, both locally and globally. His unwavering Christian faith, combined with the support of his family, has been his bedrock in the service of others, and a congressional run is an extension of that clarity of purpose.
An accomplished entrepreneur with over two decades in the automotive industry, Wilkins’ leadership has afforded him keen insights into the challenges and rewards of achieving the American dream. His extensive business acumen, coupled with a deep-seated belief in limited government, puts him squarely in position to articulate the urgency of moving away from career politicians.
Wilkins graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Liberty University and an MBA from Samford University, including concentrations in entrepreneurship and innovation. The Wilkins family, which includes Carol, Gerrick’s wife of twenty-four years, and their daughter, Hanna, has made Alabama their home since 2006.
