Overview

  • Steve Marshall announced his bid Thursday for the U.S. Senate seat he cannot seek again as term-limited attorney general after serving since 2017.
  • His launch video featured multiple endorsements from former President Donald Trump and framed him as “the senator our state needs and our president can count on.”
  • Marshall’s platform calls for ending federal funding for Planned Parenthood, bolstering border security and federally banning transgender women from female sports.
  • Former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson formally entered the Republican contest on Wednesday and other potential candidates such as Rep. Barry Moore, ex-Secretary of State John Merrill and former Rep. Mo Brooks are considering bids.
  • The open seat in deep-red Alabama is set to draw a crowded GOP field with the Republican nominee heavily favored in the 2026 general election.
