Auburn, Ala. (AP) – US seniors Tommy Tuberville, who, after a successful Auburn football coaching career, has been in politics, said Tuesday that he is a candidate for Alabama Governor next year.
His report on Will Cain Show Fox News followed weeks with guessing, and like -minded people say Tubership plans to get into the race.
“I’m a football coach. I’m a leader. I’m a builder. I’m a recruiter and we’ll grow Alabama,” Tuberville said. “We are going to attract production to this state. We will stop this illegal immigration. We will do education again and do our best to make sure our children … will stay in this state and work.”
The former coach is expected to be a huge governor’s race. Kay Ivey, the Governor of the Republican Republican, cannot run again due to the limits of terms.
Tuberville published a report against his family and friends at Auburn Barbecue Restaurant. Many wore baseball hats with the word “coach”, which was distributed in both the colors of the University of Aubrun and the University of Alabama.
He took advantage of the glory of his college coaching days to win the election in the US Senate in 2020, fulfilling himself as a political outside person closely coordinated with President Donald Trump. “God sent us Donald Trump,” Tuberville said during his campaign.
Former Alabama Republican Party chairman Bill Armisted said the presence of Tuberville would make other future candidates “think twice” about jumping in the governor’s race.
“I would be very surprised if Senator Tuberville is not selected as Governor of Alabama State,” Armistead said.
Alabama Lieutenant Gov Will Ainsworth, who is expected to run for the governor, announced last week that he would not reach the office.
2020 Tuberville defeated former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who occupied the Senate for two decades, before resigning to become Trump’s Attorney General in 2017. After months later, Tubilville defeated the current Doug Jones, who was the first Alabama Democrat elected in the Senate for decades.
In his time, the Senate Tuberville continued to close himself closely with Trump.
2023 He retained the blockade of military promotions for months of long -term blockade due to the contradiction of the Pentagon politicians, which provided travel funds and support to the military and their dependents, which are seeking abortion but are located in states where they are now illegal.
Born in Arkansas, Tubership was the head of football coach Auburn in 1999-2008, where he led the team to eight consecutive shows and one southeast conference championship. He also served as head coach in Mississippi, Texas Tech and Sinsinati University.
Pac Pac’s Pac club last week was preventively supported by Tuberville’s Governor’s race “Should he report his candidacy”.
Tuberville faced questions about his residency in 2020. In the Senate race, where his political opponents called him “Florida Man” or “Tourist in Alabama” when they questioned whether he lived in the state.
The Alabama Constitution requires governors to be “the resident of this state for at least seven years before their election day”.
Real estate tax records show that he owns $ 270,000 houses in Auburn, where he claims to be a homestead exception, and a $ 4 million beach house in Walton County, Florida.
Voting records show that Tubership has passed its voter registration from Florida to Alabama in 2019. He and his wife voted in Florida last time in 2018. November 6th
