The head of the Alabama Republican Party made it clear Tuesday: if U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville makes a run for governor, the “specifics” of his residency won’t be ignored. Years of Senate reimbursement filings, legal documents and public records will be dragged into the spotlight — and they’ll likely show exactly where “Coach” calls home when he’s not in Washington.
Appearing on The Jeff Poor Show, ALGOP Chairman John Wahl said he didn’t believe there was a “basis right now for a challenge on residency,” citing Tuberville’s nearly six years in the Senate and his yearlong campaign across the state prior to taking office. But despite Wahl’s claim, Tuberville didn’t take office until January 2021 — which means he’s been a senator for just over four years, not six.
But Alabama law doesn’t care about campaign stops or press tours. It requires a candidate for governor to have lived in the state for seven consecutive years prior to qualifying. And that’s where things could get interesting for Tuberville, who has been dogged by residency questions since he first floated the idea of running for governor.
APR reported Tuesday that Tuberville doesn’t personally own property in Alabama. He’s said — including in a 2023 interview following reporting from The Washington Post — that he lives in Auburn. The home in question is on Cherry Street, a 1,500-square-foot house valued just under $400,000, owned by his wife, Suzanne, and son, Tucker.
But should anyone file a challenge, Tuberville would have to do more than point to an address on paper. He’d have to prove — first to ALGOP officials and possibly to a court — that his primary residence is the modest Auburn home and not the $6 million, 4,000-square-foot beachfront mansion in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.
