Steve's Insight

Steve Flowers 

Columnist Steve Flowers weekly column included his thoughts about the next Alabama Governor's Race:

"...in the past month or so, a name has surfaced in the 2026 Governor’s Race that will turn the tide and change the landscape of the race. Coach Tommy Tuberville is rumored to be considering a run for Governor in 2026. His Senate Seat is also up for election in 2026. He got to the Senate at age 65, which is not the best age to arrive in the U.S. Senate and attain any power under the seniority system. He is 70 and looking at another six-year term as a 70ish back bencher.

He has his detractors, but polling reveals he is very popular in Alabama. He has over 75% name identification with high positives. Whereas, (Lt. Governor Will) Ainsworth, (Attorney General) Steve Marshall, and (Agriculture Commissioner Rick) Pate only have 20% name identification. Tuberville would automatically become the favorite and Ainsworth and Marshall would probably look hard at Tuberville’s Senate Seat.

Coach Tuberville needs to decide and move quickly because, folks, the race has begun."
