U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) recently announced several key endorsements from Alabama-based entities as the former Auburn football coach pursues the statewide office in the 2026 election cycle.

President Trump is creating a manufacturing renaissance in this country, and we have to make sure Alabama is first in line. As your next governor, I will get rid of unnecessary red tape, lower taxes, reduce wasteful spending, and work with President Trump to create an economic boom in the Yellowhammer State."
