On Tuesday morning, in his 2026 bid for U.S. Senate, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, rolled out a list of 47 chairmen coordinating his campaign efforts in individual Alabama counties across the state.

According to Marshall, these county chairs are conservative, Republican Party leaders bringing extensive experience from local government, grassroots organizing, business, agriculture and law enforcement.

“I’m proud to endorse Steve Marshall to serve as our next U.S. Senator. He is a strong fighter for our conservative common sense values and I know that he will stand strong with President Trump to continue Making America Great Again in the Senate,” one of the county chairs, Cole Lawson of Lee County, said. 

Marshall officially launched his 2026 U.S. Senate campaign in May, stepping into a race to succeed U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, that now includes U.S. Rep. Barry Moore, former U.S. Navy Seal Jared Hudson, and others, after several false starts from high-profile prospective candidates like Bruce Pearl and Paul Finebaum.

“Steve Marshall and President Trump have stood shoulder to shoulder in support of our law enforcement and American values. As our Attorney General, Steve has proven his ability to not only fight for Alabama, but win for Alabama,” Waylon Hughey of Colbert County, who is backing Marshall in 2026, said. 

“He is the principled leader President Trump needs in the U.S. Senate to hold the deep state accountable and to help pass the America First agenda. That’s why I’m endorsing him to be our next U.S. Senator.”

Marshall’s campaign has began rolling out a statewide radio blitz that advertises his conservative record and longtime legal alignment with President Donald Trump.

“These County Chairs represent the heart of our campaign, conservative leaders across Alabama who share our values and stand with President Trump,” Marshall said.

“I’m honored to have their support and grateful for their commitment as they stand with me in our race to deliver for Alabama in the United States Senate. Their leadership reflects the strength of our movement in every corner of the state.”
