MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WDNews) — Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is officially jumping into the race for U.S. Senate. On Thursday, Marshall announced he will seek the Republican nomination for the seat being vacated by Senator Tommy Tuberville.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Marshall said, “Right now, the nation needs strong conservative leadership, somebody that’s going to be able to advance President Trump’s agenda.”
Marshall released a campaign video featuring clips of praise from former President Trump, scenes of him visiting the White House, and segments highlighting his opposition to the Biden administration. The video also touches on his focus on border security and law enforcement support.
As attorney general, Marshall has been a key figure in several lawsuits challenging federal policies and has aligned closely with other GOP-led states. He was also one of the Republican officials who attended Trump’s New York trial earlier this year to show support.
Marshall was first appointed AG in 2017 by then-Governor Robert Bentley. He won election to a full term in 2018 and was re-elected in 2022. Due to term limits, he is unable to seek another term as attorney general.
Before serving at the state level, Marshall was the district attorney in Marshall County for 16 years. He originally ran as a Democrat but switched to the Republican Party in 2011.
