Three leading Alabama business associations have formally endorsed Coach Tommy Tuberville in his campaign for governor of Alabama, citing his record of support for the business community and commitment to economic growth.
The endorsements come from the Business Council of Alabama (BCA), the Alabama Forestry Association (AFA), and the Alabama Concrete Industries Association (ACIA) — groups representing a wide range of industries across the state.

“I am thankful for the outpouring of support from so many business leaders across the Yellowhammer State,” said Tuberville.
“As a former small business owner, I know firsthand how overregulation, high taxes, and inflationary policies can make it harder for Alabama businesses to succeed. Thankfully, President Trump is back in the White House and working around the clock to get our economy back on track. As governor, I will partner with President Trump to get rid of burdensome regulations and unleash Alabama’s economy.”
Business Council of Alabama President and CEO Helena Duncan praised Tuberville’s leadership and alignment with business priorities.
“Coach Tuberville has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues that matter most to Alabama’s business community — from workforce development and education to infrastructure and economic competitiveness,” said Duncan. “His vision for Alabama’s future aligns with our mission to make this state the best place to live, work, and do business. We are proud to support him in this race.”
Alabama Forestry Association President and CEO Chris Isaacson echoed those sentiments, pointing to Tuberville’s policy record in the U.S. Senate.
“Coach’s record is second to none in fighting for the forest industry in the U.S. Senate,” said Isaacson. “His work to roll back regulations that hinder businesses and fight for Alabama First policies form the foundation for his platform. He is the leader that Alabama needs and AFA is proud to endorse Coach for governor.”

John Sorrell, president of the Alabama Concrete Industries Association, emphasized Tuberville’s consistent defense of Alabama’s economic interests.
“During his time in the U.S. Senate, Coach Tuberville has proven to be a strong advocate for Alabama, and he’s never hesitated to resist policies that would negatively impact the state’s business climate,” said Sorrell. “We believe that Coach will take the same principled approach as our next governor. Our member companies are involved in almost every facet of the Alabama economy – from home construction to road and bridge building – and we’re proud to endorse the Tuberville for Governor campaign.”
The endorsements mark a significant show of support from the state’s business sector as the race for governor moves forward.
