According to the Alabama Secretary of State’s website, Tuberville filed his principal campaign committee one week ago today.
Although he will not have to submit his first monthly fundraising report until this weekend, Tuberville is already claiming the title for largest single-day fundraising haul in state history.
By comparison, last year, Democrat U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures (D-Mobile) and Republican contender Caroleene Dobson collectively raised $6.44 million over the course of their campaigns for a newly-drawn congressional seat. During her 2022 re-election campaign, Governor Kay Ivey raised $7.1 million in total.
