Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Tuesday announced his 2026 run for Alabama governor.
Tuberville, a top Senate supporter and ally of President Donald Trump, launched a campaign website that touts his "conservative Alabama values."
And the senator made his first appearance after announcing his candidacy on Fox News' "The Will Cain Show."
"I'm doing this to help this country and the great state of Alabama," Tuberville said in his Fox News Channel interview. "I'm a football coach. I'm a leader. I'm a builder. I'm a recruiter, and we're going to grow Alabama."
"We’re going to bring manufacturing to this state. We’re going to stop this illegal immigration. We’re going to make education better again, and we’re going to do everything possible to make sure our kids... stay in this state and work," Tuberville added.
Tuberville joined Fox News as he stood in front of his family and friends at an Auburn barbecue restaurant.
