Steve Marshall Highlights Redistricting Push, New Ad, and Crime Victims Advocacy on Senate Campaign Trail

May 1, 2026 - MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall spent the week pressing forward on multiple fronts in his campaign for the U.S. Senate, responding to a major Supreme Court ruling, unveiling new advertising, and emphasizing his record on crime victims' rights.

The week's developments came as the Supreme Court issued its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, a ruling with significant implications for redistricting nationwide. Marshall quickly filed emergency motions asking the U.S. Supreme Court to lift federal injunctions that currently prevent Alabama from using its 2023 congressional map.

Marshall argued that the ruling effectively curtails the use of race‑based redistricting and aligns with Alabama's long‑standing position that congressional lines should be drawn according to constitutional principles rather than racial targets. Governor Kay Ivey has publicly backed Marshall's effort, and the campaign says lifting the injunctions would allow Alabama to resume its redistricting process ahead of future election cycles.

New Campaign Ad Emphasizes Record of Conservative Wins

Earlier in the week, Marshall's campaign released a new digital advertisement titled "Gets It Done." The 30‑second spot highlights what the campaign describes as Marshall's record of converting conservative priorities into tangible results for Alabama.

The ad points to his legal challenges against the Biden administration, his alignment with former President Donald Trump on key issues, and a series of courtroom victories the campaign says have protected Alabama's values and interests.

Focus on Crime Victims' Rights

In recognition of National Crime Victims' Rights Week, Marshall authored an opinion piece for Yellowhammer News emphasizing the importance of listening to survivors and strengthening support systems for victims of violent crime. The campaign said Marshall intends to bring that advocacy to Washington if elected to the Senate.

As Attorney General, Marshall has frequently highlighted his office's work on behalf of crime victims, and his campaign continues to frame that record as a central component of his platform.

Direct Voter Engagement Through Social Media

Marshall also took to Facebook this week to answer constituent questions directly. His campaign said the effort is aimed at reaching voters whose questions often go unaddressed at traditional campaign events. According to the campaign, additional videos and Q&A sessions will be released in the coming weeks.

Looking Ahead

With the Supreme Court's ruling reshaping the national redistricting landscape and Alabama's legal challenges still active, Marshall's campaign is positioning his response as a key moment in the Senate race. The campaign says it will continue to highlight his legal record, policy positions, and direct engagement with voters as the election cycle progresses.

The Republican primary is on May 19.
