Alabama GOP Dismisses Tuberville Residency Challenge as Rival Prepares Court Fight

The ruling removes a party obstacle for the senator’s gubernatorial bid.

Overview

  • The Alabama Republican Party Candidate Committee on Sunday rejected Ken McFeeters’ claim that Sen. Tommy Tuberville fails the state’s seven‑year residency requirement for governor.
  • Tuberville’s campaign said it provided the party with “definitive proof” that he has continuously lived in Alabama since 2019.
  • McFeeters said Tuesday he will take the matter to court to compel production of travel, credit card, financial, tax, and utility records to establish Tuberville’s domicile.
  • Public records show Tuberville claims a homestead exemption on an Auburn home and also owns a multimillion‑dollar beach house in Walton County, Florida, purchased by his wife and son in 2017.
  • The Alabama Constitution requires gubernatorial candidates to be resident citizens of the state for at least seven years before the election.
