Sen. Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican whose Senate seat is up in the 2026 election, announced Tuesday that he's seeking the state's governor's mansion after one term in the Senate.

“An NPA in 2026 in the governor’s race hands Tallahassee to Byron Donalds or Casey DeSantis. That’s it. There’s no other outcome.” Donalds, a Republican congressman, is already running.

Haslam was elected Mayor of Knoxville in 2003, winning re-election in 2007 and serving until 2011. He went on to succeed Phil Bredesen as the 49th Governor of Tennessee.

Questions about Tuberville’s residency and whether it would affect the governor’s race in 2026, were raised during a March radio interview by state Sen. Sam Givhan, R-Huntsville.
