State Politics
Bachus was elected to the Alabama Senate in 1982, but served only one year as new legislative elections were scheduled for 1983 when the existing district lines were declared unconstitutional. He then was elected to a seat in 1983 in the Alabama House of Representatives serving one three-year term. In 1986, he was elected as the first Republican on The Alabama State Board of Education serving just one four-year term from the 6th District. In 1990, he ran unsuccessfully for attorney general of Alabama. He became chairman of the Alabama Republican Party in 1991, serving in that position until his campaign for election to Congress.
