Alabama GOP Says Tuberville Meets 7-Year Residency to Run for Governor

McFeeters’ party complaint failed, making a court fight possible.

Overview

  • The Alabama Republican Party’s candidate committee dismissed Ken McFeeters’ challenge and found Sen. Tommy Tuberville eligible under the state’s seven-year residency rule.
  • The ruling followed a Sunday committee meeting, with both campaigns confirming the decision on Monday.
  • Tuberville’s campaign said it gave the party “definitive proof” he has continuously lived in Alabama since 2019.
  • McFeeters said he is weighing a lawsuit to force disclosure of documents showing Tuberville’s domicile in Auburn rather than his Florida beach house.
  • Records show a homestead exemption on an Auburn home and ownership of a Santa Rosa Beach property valued around $5.5–$6 million, with past scrutiny noting his 2018 Florida vote and a 2024 addition of his name to the Auburn deed.
