Alabama Farmers Federation endorses Tuberville for Governor

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WHNT) — The Alabama Farmers Federation has endorsed Senator Tommy Tuberville for Governor in the upcoming election.

Federation President Jimmy Parnell said that unanimous support by Alabama FarmPAC trustees reflects farmers’ appreciation for Tuberville’s representation in Washington and confidence in his ability to lead the state.

“The Farmers Federation was among the first groups Coach Tuberville met with when deciding to run for Senate, and he has never forgotten the support he received from Alabama farmers and rural families,” Parnell said. “He sought an appointment to the Senate Agriculture Committee and has been a champion for Alabama farmers and Southern agriculture.”

According to Parnell, Tuberville led efforts to bring relief to farmers dealing with low commodity prices, high production costs and natural disasters.

“Farmers are facing the worst financial crisis since the 1980s,” Parnell said. “When Congress failed to pass a new farm bill, Coach Tuberville stepped forward with other farm-state lawmakers to secure $10 billion for the Emergency Commodity Assistance Program in the American Relief Act of 2025. He then worked to preserve updates to commodity reference prices and base acres in President Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill.’

Federation endorsements are recommended by Alabama FarmPAC advisory trustees, including farmer representatives from each of the state’s 67 counties.

“Coach has been a strong and consistent voice for lower taxes, smaller government, regulatory reform and conservative values,” Parnell said. “We are convinced he will bring the same business-minded approach to state government.”

Alabama FarmPAC, a political action committee of the Federation, is expected to announce additional endorsements for 2026 elections in the near future.

Tuberville first announced his campaign for the state’s top office back in May. According to campaign finance reports, Tuberville has raised roughly $4,000,000 since his announcement.
