Governor: The Rematch

Kay Ivey is term-limited, and the race to replace her is one Alabama has seen before. Senator Tommy Tuberville won the Republican nomination. Former senator Doug Jones won the Democratic nomination. In 2020, Tuberville took Jones’s Senate seat by roughly 20 points. Six years later, the same two names meet again, this time for the governor’s office.

U.S. Senate: The Open Seat

Tuberville’s run for governor leaves his Senate seat open, and neither party settled the nomination on May 19. Congressman Barry Moore won the Republican nomination over businessman Jared Hudson, 56 to 44 percent. On the Democratic side, attorney Everett Wess defeated businessman Dakarai Larriett 55 to 45. Moore and Wess meet November 3.
