HOOVER, Ala. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has long faced accusations of living in Florida rather than the state he represents in Washington. Now he is being confronted with the same claims as he runs for governor. Alabama Republican Party leaders are scheduled to meet Sunday in a closed-door hearing to determine if he has lived in the state long enough to lead it. Tuberville’s former primary opponent, Ken McFeeters, filed a challenge arguing that Tuberville does not meet the Alabama Constitution’s seven-year residency requirement.
“Does he live in Alabama? No,” McFeeters said. “He doesn’t live here.”. Tuberville, who easily defeated McFeeters in last month’s primary and has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, has called the challenge a joke and said he meets the requirement to serve. “We’re happy to put the residency issue to bed,” campaign chairman Jordan Doufexis said earlier this month. He added that “it’s time to provide the facts and move on.”
Property tax records show Tuberville and his wife own a beach home in Florida valued at $5.6 million. His campaign has said his residence is a home in Auburn. The 1,551-square-foot property has an appraised value of about $291,780. The Auburn home was purchased by his wife and son in 2017. The senator’s name was later added to the property, and the son’s name removed. Both the Auburn and Florida homes appear to have recently been put in a revocable trust.
Tuberville released heavily redacted Alabama income tax returns from 2018 to 2024 as evidence he meets the seven-year residency requirement. The returns list a redacted Auburn address and indicate the Tubervilles moved to the state in August 2018. Voting records show Tuberville voted in Florida in November 2018. He registered to vote in Alabama on March 28, 2019, about two weeks before announcing his run for Senate.
