Senator Richard Shelby reflects on 36 years in U.S. Senate during visit to Mobile

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) – Alabama's senior US Senator likely made his last stop in Mobile on Monday to reflect on his 36 years of service in the US Senate. More News from WRBL Senator Richard Shelby spoke at the Mobile Chamber's 'Forum Alabama' on Monday morning as a part of the series being hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Senator Shelby was elected to the US Senate in 1986 and is serving his final term. He announced his retirement last year, which led to a crowded GOP primary. His former aid Katie Britt won the Republican Party nomination and is likely the frontrunner in the November general election.
