This week I visited Donald Means, a fifth-generation farmer raising cattle in Greene County. He told me he wants to carry on his family’s legacy, but high diesel prices and tariffs are making it harder for farmers like him to hold on.

I promise you, when you elect me governor and Ron Sparks as Agriculture Commissioner, we will do all we can to keep family farms like Donald’s in business.

What a day, Huntsville. Nearly 2,000 of you showed up yesterday to rally with my friend @staceyabrams and me. Stacey helped turn out the vote in Georgia. We can do it here in Alabama, too.

Folks, the registration deadline is one week away. Make sure your friends and family are registered and have a plan to vote. We’ve got an election to win on November 3.

Please stay safe, folks.

I loved being with my friend Congresswoman Terri Sewell at Women for Alabama this week! Terri and I made a great team when we served together in Congress, and I know we’ll make an even better team when she’s reelected to Congress and I’m elected Governor. Let’s get it done on November 3rd.

Alabamians don’t live in a pretend world. We are living in the Trump/Tuberville reality of a rush to build data centers, high gas prices, high grocery prices and high electricity prices. Alabamians deserve better.

Trump’s not coming to Mobile for Tommy. That’s just an afterthought. Pretty clear that he’s in Mobile to campaign for another personal vanity project to have the new Mobile Bay Bridge that Tuberville voted against, named after him. At least Trump didn’t divert bridge funds for self promo TV ads.

What a thrill it was to be back with my old friend @jasonisbell @jasonisbell at our big rally in Mobile last week. Jason never lets an audience, or me, down with this music and his words. Thank you for always being there for us!

I couldn’t be in Brewton and miss the Battle of Highway 31! Thank you to both T.R.Miller and Hillcrest High School for letting us join in on the rivalry and to the band for getting me one step closer to doing the Dougie!

A sitting president doesn’t go to a safe state a month before an election. Alabama is in play, folks.

This week, we kicked off our On the Road to Change Tour across Alabama. Starting in Mobile, we made our way through Florala, Brewton, Thomasville, and Gainesville. And I’ll tell you, we are feeling the momentum.

Folks are excited, they’re ready for change, and when we win this race, we’re going to get to work!

What an honor it was to introduce the world premier of “Growing Up with Atticus” to kick off the centennial season of The Virginia Samford Theater, and to be able to visit with the amazing stars Cecilia Peck, daughter of the great Gregory Peck, and Birmingham’s own Mary Badham, aka “Scout.”

It was at times moving, at times poignant, at times funny, but at all times worthy of the inspiration and admiration for Atticus Finch and “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

On more than one occasion in my life I have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. For me that oath was so much more than holding an office, it was an acknowledgment of principles that have guided me both personally and

professionally; principles that too many take for granted, too many ignore and too many twist for their own political purposes. Today is Constitution Day.

Take time to read it and understand the fundamental rights, freedoms and liberties that are enshrined in it. And take time to thank God for the blessings on all of us that the amazing document bestowed on us.

$6 diesel is crushing Alabama farmers, truckers and shrimpers. And when it costs more for them to do their jobs, we all pay more. Tommy Tuberville? He takes a knee.

First Baptist Church of Ensley has a rich history of faith, service, and leadership. The late Reverend Dr. Thomas Earl Gilmore, Sr. served there as pastor for more than three decades. A civil rights leader, he made history as Greene County’s first African American sheriff and became widely known as

the “Sheriff Without a Gun” because of his commitment to nonviolence. Today, that legacy of service continues under Reverend Dr. Tyree A. Anderson, the church’s 15th pastor. Dr. Anderson brings more than 20 years of ministry and pastoral experience and also serves in leadership roles within the

National Baptist Convention and the Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention. We are grateful to Pastor Anderson and the First Baptist Church of Ensley family for their warm welcome and continued commitment to faith and community.

What a great day in Tuscumbia on Labor Day. Food, fun, a parade and a Bama jersey autographed by Joe Namath! Organized labor has worked so hard and for so long for the workers in Alabama, it’s time that Alabama’s government did some work for them not always against them.

Change is happening in Shelby County. During the primary, Democratic turnout increased by 260%. Louise and I enjoyed spending yesterday afternoon with the Shelby County Democrats and so many of our strong Democratic candidates.

9/11 is a day of remembrance, but it is also a day of service. Today, we honor those who were killed, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless Americans who stepped up to help.

In the days that followed, Americans came together in their communities to help their neighbors and take care of one another.

We could use more of that spirit of unity and shared purpose today, much like what we saw today in Birmingham at 9/11 Day’s UNIITE for Good where volunteers packed more than 100,000 meals for Alabamians facing hunger.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our town hall in Tuskegee and to Congressman Shomari Figures for joining us. For too long, communities across the Black Belt have been asked to do more with less.

That has to change. Whether it’s keeping a hospital open, giving our kids a great education, or bringing good-paying jobs, the people of the Black Belt deserve a state government that shows up and invests in their future.

10 Sept

Show us the tag, “Coach.” Show us the tag.

9 Sept

Thank you to the veterans, military families, and voters who came out last night for our Veterans Town Hall in Anniston. Veterans deserve more than empty promises. They deserve leaders who will listen and do the work.

8 Sept

I was honored yesterday to be the Grand Marshall in the Labor Day parade in Tuscumbia, one of the oldest Labor Day celebrations in the country. Organized labor is in my DNA folks and as Governor I will do everything I can to protect and promote the working men and women in Alabama.

Tuberville says “We’re gonna do data centers” and the concerns of people across Alabama is nothing more than “Bullcrap.” He can spin all he wants but he can’t walk that back.

22 Aug

Another example of why as Governor I will impose a one year moratorium so Alabama communities are protected and have a say. Montgomery and Tuberville want to fast track these things and Tuberville says our concerns are bull crap youtu.be/Wmy1OJK-ha8

19 Aug

Don’t believe Tommy Tuberville’s BS, folks.

15 Aug

Social Security is a promise. If you work hard, you can retire with dignity. For 91 years, our country has kept that promise. We must continue to.

1 Aug

Tuberville says Social Security is a “scam”. To use his response about the concerns communities have about data centers, “bullcrap”.

22 July

Hey folks, we’re gonna be doing another town hall tomorrow, Wednesday the 22nd in Dothan. Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks will join me at 5 pm at the Mural City Coffee Company so please come out and join us. It’s our way of being responsive to the people of Alabama.

15 July

Tommy Tuberville will open the floodgates to data centers and justify it with one of his bizarre conspiracy theories. Not me. We need to slow things down and put some guardrails up to protect our communities.

Like so many in this country and around the world, I was shocked and saddened by the death of my friend and former colleague Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was often a man of many contradictions but at his core he was a fierce patriot; not just a defender, but a promoter of democracy. We disagreed…

12 July

…on many things, but we shared that love of country and a belief that America must play the leading role on the world stage. It was fitting that his final trip was to Ukraine, fighting for a cause we both believed in. Behind the public persona,….

12 July

…Lindsey Graham was a pragmatic public servant who could work across the aisle to get things done. Louise and I send our prayers and condolences to his family

11 July

Thank you Colbert County! An amazing turnout for our town hall last night in Sheffield. Great crowd, great questions, great dialogue. And thanks to IBEW local 558 for hosting us. This is what momentum looks like. Next up: Dothan. Hope to see just as many folks in the Wiregrass as the Shoals.

In 1965, an Alabama State Trooper shot and killed Jimmie Lee Jackson during a protest in Marion, AL. He was unarmed and the protesters were peaceful. His death led to the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights and ultimately the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. 61 years later….

6 July

…Alabama continues to be ground zero for voting rights in America. Last week, I had the honor of being with Jimmie Lee’s sister Emma to thank her and her family for their sacrifice.

Thankfully the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship but it was closer than expected. Sadly Justice Kavanaugh’s concurrence may create more chaos and division.

21 June

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! My dad taught me so much in the 65 years that I was privileged to be his son and I have done my best to pass all of it along to my kids. That folks is the legacies our father’s leave us.
