Tuberville Gets Early Nod in '26 Guv Race

Looks like the '26 Alabama gubernatorial race is already heating up! U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville just snagged a major endorsement from the Petroleum & Convenience Marketers of Alabama (P&CMA).

P&CMA Backs Tuberville

The P&CMA, a big player representing over 200 petroleum marketers and convenience store operators statewide, jumped on the Tuberville train right after his campaign launch in Auburn. Pretty quick move!

Why They're Onboard

"Tommy Tuberville gets what's up with Alabama's energy and retail game," said Rex Jones, Chair of the P&CMA Board. "He's all about boosting the economy, backing small businesses, and keeping the fuel flowing across the state." Jones reckons Tuberville will be a powerful advocate in Montgomery, understanding what it takes to spark economic growth and opportunities.

Big Numbers, Big Influence

The P&CMA's got some serious clout. Their members own, run, and supply over 3,250 convenience stores across Alabama, employing around 60,000 folks. They're a vital piece of Alabama's energy puzzle and small business scene.

Eyes on '26

Mark your calendars! The Alabama Republican primary election is set for May 19, 2026. So far, Tuberville's running solo.
