Alabama Farmers Federation Endorses Tuberville for Governor Amid Broader 2026 Strategy

July 17, 2025 - MONTGOMERY, AL - U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville has received a pivotal endorsement in his campaign for Alabama governor, with the Alabama Farmers Federation announcing unanimous support through its political arm, Alabama FarmPAC.

Federation President Jimmy Parnell said the endorsement reflects Tuberville's consistent advocacy for agriculture and his alignment with rural values.

"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.

Tuberville's record includes securing $10 billion in emergency aid for farmers through the American Relief Act of 2025 and championing updates to commodity reference prices and base acres in President Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill." These efforts have earned him praise during what Parnell described as "the worst financial crisis since the 1980s" for farmers.

Strategic Implications of the Endorsement

The Tuberville endorsement signals FarmPAC's intent to back candidates who blend conservative governance with agricultural advocacy. The Federation's support is often seen as a bellwether for rural voter sentiment and carries weight across Alabama's 67 counties.

Tuberville joins a growing list of FarmPAC-backed candidates, including:

- Donald Trump – President

- Barry Moore – 1st Congressional District

- Mike Rogers – 3rd Congressional District

- Robert Aderholt – 4th Congressional District

- Dale Strong – 5th Congressional District

- Gary Palmer – 6th Congressional District

- Sarah Stewart – Chief Justice, Alabama Supreme Court

- Twinkle Cavanaugh – Public Service Commission President

- Board of Education Members – Jackie Zeigler, Kelly Mooney, Tonya Smith Chestnut, Allen Long

These endorsements reflect FarmPAC's emphasis on candidates who support lower taxes, regulatory reform, and business-friendly policies. The Federation also backed judicial candidates who favor conservative interpretations of the law, reinforcing its influence beyond agriculture.

Looking Ahead

With Tuberville's campaign reportedly raising $4 million since its May launch, the FarmPAC endorsement adds momentum to his gubernatorial bid. Additional endorsements for the 2026 cycle are expected in the coming months, as FarmPAC continues to shape Alabama's political landscape.
