CAMPAIGN 2026: Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has announced that he will run for U.S. Senate.

Marshall is seeking the seat currently held by U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who announced that he is running for governor.

Marshall is in his second term as attorney general and cannot seek a third term due to term limits.

He has an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his law degree from the University of Alabama.

Marshall and his wife, Tammy, live in Montgomery and have three children: Faith Marshall, John Millan Gaston and Benen Gaston.

The primaries are May 19, 2026.
