Do you think Alabama is headed in the right direction under current state leadership?

Unofficial results from Alabama's midterm elections held Tuesday, Nov. 3, show Republican candidates winning statewide races, including Tommy Tuberville for Governor with 51.78% of the vote and Barry Moore for U.S. Senator with 54.68%. Voters approved Proposed Statewide Amendments 1, 3, and 4, and approved Amendment 2 by a narrow margin.

Why it matters

The results determine the state's leadership in the governor's office and its representation in the U.S. Senate and Congress, while the amendment outcomes will shape Alabama's state policy. Results also cover races affecting Baldwin County, which is directly represented by the contests reported.

Unofficial returns show Tuberville leading Jones 51.78% to 47.87% for Governor, with Barry Moore taking 54.68% in the Senate race and Jerry Carl winning 59.03% in the 1st District. These figures remain unofficial pending certification.

Political Context

Democrats have not won a statewide Alabama race since Jones's 2017 Senate special election victory over Roy Moore. The 2026 results continue Republican dominance in Alabama's statewide contests, with Jones again trailing in a high-profile race.

The amendment outcomes will change state rules that apply to Alabama residents, including approved measures 1, 3, and 4. Results affecting state Senate districts 22 and 32 determine who represents those areas in the state legislature.

The takeaway

Alabama voters have sent a strong Republican majority into statewide offices, and voters approved most proposed amendments. Readers should watch for certified results, which may refine these unofficial margins.
