Overview
- Tuberville’s campaign made public partially redacted income tax returns covering years beginning in 2018 and ending in 2024 or 2025, an effort reported by multiple outlets this week to answer questions about where he has lived.
- Ken McFeeters filed the primary challenge alleging Senate expense and PAC records show repeated travel to Florida with little evidence of regular travel to Auburn, and the Alabama Republican Party accepted the contest for a final hearing.
- Reporters noted the released returns have dollar amounts blacked out, but the 2018 return included by the campaign lists an Auburn address and shows residency beginning August 1, 2018.
- Public records cited by challengers show Tuberville claims a homestead exemption on an Auburn house appraised at about $291,780 and owns an estimated $5.5 million beach home in Walton County, Florida.
- The Republican Steering Committee will hold a formal hearing on June 14 that can decide whether Tuberville meets the state’s seven-year residency rule and thus keep or strip his GOP nomination ahead of a possible November rematch with Democrat Doug Jones.
