Campaign

Will Boyd was the first candidate to enter the race, in June 2025.[42] Doug Jones did not rule out a bid in the same month, while campaigning for a Democrat in a state legislative special election.[53] He officially launched his campaign in November 2025.[54] Following reports that Jones would announce a campaign, Boyd's campaign responded by stating that he would not be dropping out of the race.[55]

Jones has expressed support for a state lottery in Alabama.[56] He has also pledged to remove members of the Alabama Public Library Service and replace them with nonpartisan members.[57]

Challenges to Tuberville's eligibility

Alabama's governors, unlike its U.S. Senators, must satisfy three conditions set out in Article V, Section 117 of the Constitution of Alabama:

The governor and lieutenant governor shall each be at least thirty years of age when elected, and shall have been citizens of the United States ten years and resident citizens of this state at least seven years next before the date of their election.[70]

Throughout Tuberville's gubernatorial campaign, many have alleged that he does not satisfy the seven-year residency condition, which would render him ineligible to hold the office.

Background

Tuberville owns residences in Lee County, Alabama, and Walton County, Florida.

Tuberville is originally from Arkansas. In addition to his 9-year tenure at Auburn University in Alabama, Tuberville's football coaching career variously placed him in Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Ohio.[71] In July 2017, having retired from coaching and joined ESPN as an analyst, Tuberville recorded a promotional video at his residence in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, in which he says, "Six months ago, after 40 years of coaching football, I hung up my whistle and moved to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, with the white sands and the blue water. What a great place to live."[72] Tuberville purchased the 4,000-square-foot Florida residence through an LLC in 2004,[73] and its value was estimated at $5.6 million in 2026.[74]

In March 2017, Tuberville filed preliminary paperwork to run for governor of Alabama in the 2018 election,[75] but he withdrew less than a month later, citing the seven-year residency requirement as a concern.[76]

Tuberville was issued an Alabama driver's license in March 2019, shortly before declaring his candidacy in the state's 2020 U.S. Senate race.[77] During the campaign, Tuberville claimed that he had moved to Alabama in August of 2018, despite having voted in Florida in the November 2018 midterm elections.[78] Tuberville cited a 1,551-square-foot home on Cherry Street in Auburn, Alabama, as his primary residence.[79] The home was purchased under the names of Tuberville's wife and son in March 2017,[79] and they claimed a homestead exemption in October 2018.[80] Tuberville did not appear on the deed for the property himself until 2024.[81]

During the 2020 Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Republican opponent Bradley Byrne said of Tuberville, "We donโ€™t like carpetbaggers in Alabama,"[82] to which Tuberville commented at an August 2019 campaign event, "Iโ€™m not an everyday resident of Alabama. [...] Iโ€™ve been here most of the last 20 years. Iโ€™ve had property. So, youโ€™ll see that on TV โ€“ โ€˜Heโ€™s a carpetbagger.โ€™ Yeah, Iโ€™m a carpetbagger of this country. I love this country. I love this state. Iโ€™m a carpetbagger."[83] Republican primary opponent Jeff Sessions commissioned advertisements labeling Tuberville a "Florida Man"[84] and referred to him as a "tourist from Florida."[85]

In March 2025, amid speculation that Tuberville would mount a gubernatorial bid, Alabama state senator Sam Givhan, a Republican, expressed concerns about Tuberville's ability to meet the residency requirement, saying during a radio appearance, "Owning a house in Alabama is not enough. Youโ€™ve got to live here seven years. [...] So thatโ€™s going to be a hurdle."[86]

During Tuberville's tenure as Senator, expense records have shown significant spending on air travel, transportation, and dining in the area near his Florida property.[87] In May 2026, speaking to reporters after his induction into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Tuberville said, "I go back to Auburn three or four ball games a year. Actually, I live in Auburn, but living mostly in D.C., you know, during the week."[88]

Challenges from Ken McFeeters

Ken McFeeters announced a lawsuit against Tuberville on March 24, 2026.

On January 27, 2026, after the filing deadline for the Republican Party primary had passed, Tuberville's gubernatorial primary opponent, Ken McFeeters, submitted a challenge to the Alabama Republican Party, formally alleging that Tuberville did not satisfy the state's residency requirement. McFeeters alleged in his petition that Tuberville primarily resides at his beachfront house in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.[89] A spokesperson for Tuberville described the challenge as "a ridiculous PR stunt from a desperate candidate,"[90] and Tuberville dismissed the allegation, stating, "What a joke. I guess they think, you know, I hadn't done my homework."[91]

The Alabama Republican Party's 21-member steering committee reviewed the challenge on February 2, 2026, and rejected it, clearing the path for Tuberville to be on the primary ballot.[92] In a press release following the committee's decision, Tuberville's campaign chairman Jordan Doufexis celebrated that "common sense has prevailed and this made-up 'residency' hoax will be put to bed for good."[93]

In March 2026, McFeeters announced on the steps of the Alabama Capitol that he had filed a lawsuit against Tuberville in the Covington County Circuit Court.[94] McFeeters, though not a lawyer, litigated the case pro se and listed โ€œGodโ€™s Law Teamโ€ as his law firm in the complaint.[95][96] McFeeters pledged that he would drop out of the race if Tuberville released records demonstrating proof of residency.[97] Tuberville did not release any records, and the lawsuit was dismissed for improper venue on May 18, 2026, the day before the primary election.[98]

On May 27, 2026, the week after the primary election, McFeeters filed another challenge with the Alabama Republican Party, arguing that the party should void Tuberville's nomination on eligibility grounds.[99] The party's Candidate Committee voted to proceed with the contest, surprising McFeeters, who said he was "totally shocked."[100] During the proceedings, Tuberville produced seven years of heavily redacted Alabama tax returns, from 2018 to 2024.[101] However, by failing to adequately redact scannable PDF417 barcodes in the corners of the document, the unredacted contents of the tax returns were inadvertently made available to the involved parties.[102] McFeeters, unconvinced that the tax returns sufficiently demonstrated proof of residency, shared plans to continue his challenge, telling AL.com, โ€œI want his wife to tell me, with a straight face, that she lives in a one-bathroom house with her husband and adults and guests. A woman like that is not going to share a bathroom.โ€[103]

Following an internal closed-door hearing on June 14, 2026, the Alabama Republican Party Candidate Committee unanimously dismissed the challenge.[104]

In July 2026, McFeeters filed a second lawsuit with similar allegations in the Jefferson County Circuit Court.[105] The case was dismissed on August 18, 2026 for lack of jurisdiction.[106] On August 13, 2026, McFeeters additionally filed a federal lawsuit, which was dismissed one day later for lack of standing.[107]

Quo warranto lawsuit

Birmingham lawyer Barry Ragsdale is an attorney for the plaintiffs.

On June 17, 2026, plaintiffs Brook Dorgan and Justin LeBlanc filed a lawsuit against Tuberville in the Montgomery County Circuit Court, which seeks a writ of quo warranto to invalidate Tuberville's candidacy. The complaint, citing voter registration records, tax records, campaign finance records, and quotes from Tuberville himself, alleges that Tuberville has not consistently maintained residence at his Auburn, Alabama, property.[108] The complaint requested an expedited jury trial, with plaintiffs' attorney Barry Ragsdale saying on a podcast, "We think that your average person who sits on a jury is just never, ever going to believe the stories that Tuberville makes up about where he lives."[109] Tuberville filed a motion to dismiss the suit on June 22, 2026.[110]

On July 9, 2026, Montgomery County Circuit Judge Brooke Reid dismissed the lawsuit for insufficient jurisdiction.[111] The dismissal order cites a lack of case law concerning whether quo warranto may be applied for party nominees. However, Reid did affirm that the state constitution allows the judiciary to determine whether an individual satisfies the "clearly set forth and unambiguous" requirements to hold office, which Tuberville's lawyers had disputed.[111] Reid did not render a verdict on the underlying question of Tuberville's eligibility.

On July 14, 2026, Ragsdale filed an appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court.[112]
