C. Mac McCutcheon (born 1952/1953) is the speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives. He is a Republican who was first elected to the state legislature in 2006.
McCutcheon has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration from Trinity University. He was a police officer in Huntsville, Alabama prior to his election to the state legislature. He has also worked as a farmer and is a member of College Park Church of God.
In August 2017, Alabama state senator Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) said he will introduce legislation during the next session, an election year, that would allow local Alabama commissions "to ask voters in their counties to raise a local gasoline tax for specific road projects." The proposal has raised mixed feelings among local officials. Bills to increase the state gas tax have died in recent legislative sessions. McCutcheon stated that while discussions will continue, passing the bill would be unlikely. "In an election year, the reality of getting legislators to vote for any type of revenue measure will be tough," McCutcheon said.
