On Monday morning, Alabama Speaker of the House of Representatives Nathaniel Ledbetter endorsed his friend and colleague, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) for Governor of Alabama in the 2026 GOP primary election.
“Alabama is winning like never before, and our state’s continued prosperity hinges upon its next governor being a strong conservative who will always fight to protect our jobs, our beliefs, and our way of life,” Speaker Ledbetter said.
“During his time in the U.S. Senate, Coach Tuberville has proven himself to be an unapologetically conservative leader who knows how to get things done – especially when it means taking the hard road. His record speaks for itself, and I fully believe he is the right man to lead our state as its next governor.”

Speaker Ledbetter and Coach Tuberville became friends in the months leading up to Coach announcing his 2020 bid for the U.S. Senate.
Ledbetter later officially joined Coach Tuberville’s campaign as its co-chairman and played an integral role in Coach’s primary victory amid a crowded field of candidates.
“From serving as co-chairman of my campaign for U.S. Senate to now, I appreciate Speaker Ledbetter’s continued support and friendship over the last several years,” Senator Tuberville said.
“We share a desire to improve life for all Alabamians from Sand Mountain to the Gulf of America. I’m looking forward to working with him to achieve historic wins for the Yellowhammer State.”
