House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) endorsed U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) for governor on Monday.
Ledbetter and Tuberville became friends in the months leading up to Tuberville announcing his 2020 bid for the U.S. Senate. Ledbetter later officially joined Tuberville’s successful campaign as its co-chairman.
“Alabama is winning like never before, and our state’s continued prosperity hinges upon its next governor being a strong conservative who will always fight to protect our jobs, our beliefs, and our way of life,” Ledbetter said. “During his time in the U.S. Senate, Coach Tuberville has proven himself to be an unapologetically conservative leader who knows how to get things done – especially when it means taking the hard road. His record speaks for itself, and I fully believe he is the right man to lead our state as its next governor.”
Tuberville said, “From serving as co-chairman of my campaign for U.S. Senate to now, I appreciate Speaker Ledbetter’s continued support and friendship over the last several years.”
“We share a desire to improve life for all Alabamians from Sand Mountain to the Gulf of America. I’m looking forward to working with him to achieve historic wins for the Yellowhammer State,” he added.
