ICYMI: Tuberville in 1819 News: Why I’m Leaving D.C. For Montgomery

AUBURN – Today, Coach Tuberville penned an op-ed in 1819 News about why he is running to be the next Governor of Alabama. In the piece, Coach Tuberville talks about his past four years fighting for Alabama conservative values in the U.S. Senate and pledges to bring that same fight to Montgomery.

Read excerpts from the op-ed below or the full piece here.

“As a coach, my family and I spent years on the road. We moved every couple of years and traveled most weekends in the fall. When I got the head coaching job at Auburn more than 25 years ago, Suzanne and I knew we had finally found our home. We quickly fell in love with the state, its people, and the Alabama conservative values we all hold dear.

Four years ago, I was humbled to be elected to represent Alabama in the United States Senate. What was true then is still true now – I didn’t come to Washington to make friends; I came to fight for Alabama. I have stood up to the Swamp time and again, even when it meant standing alone. It turns out that radical liberals, the globalist media, and even some RINOs don’t like it very much when you have a backbone. I quickly learned that some simple truths, which are commonsense in Alabama, are foreign in D.C. For example, the Swamp doesn’t like it when you say that men shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or that taxpayer dollars shouldn’t go towards abortions. Under Joe Biden, this kind of insanity almost became normal –  and I was fighting back every step of the way.

Thank God our national nightmare is over and President Trump is back in the White House. I’ve developed strong relationships with Trump and his administration and have also learned a thing or two over the past four years in D.C. For example, I know what levers need to be pulled to deliver wins for Alabama. The president wants to put the power back in the states like our founders intended. For these reasons, I am running for governor of the great state of Alabama. As governor, I will bring Trump’s commonsense policies to Montgomery and put Alabama First. Our state needs a CEO, and I am ready for the job.”
