§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Education
His campaign website says allowing people born male to compete in women's sports is wrong.8
- Require teams based on sex at birth
- Let each state decide
- Let schools or sports organizations set rules case by case
- Teams based on gender identity
His campaign website says critical race theory should have no place in schools.8
His campaign website says that as governor he would expand school choice and support charter, magnet, private, public and home schools.8
Courts, Rights and Civil Liberties

Abortion and Reproductive Health

Economy, Jobs and Trade
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website says that in the Senate he pushed for the tax break on overtime pay to be included in the federal tax law it calls the Working Families Tax Cuts.7
§4Popular bills that never got a vote
Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.
While Tommy Tuberville served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Tommy Tuberville sponsored or cosponsored 11 of the 50. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left.
Candidates for governor file campaign-finance reports with the state, not the FEC, so this guide doesn't include their fundraising. Search the state's reports: Campaign finance database search (FCPA reporting system) — Alabama Secretary of State.62
§6Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Tommy Tuberville at efdsearch.senate.gov63.
