The majority leader in the Alabama House of Representatives has joined the Tommy Tuberville campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Tuberville’s campaign announced today that Rep. Nathaniel Ledbetter of Rainsville would co-chair the general election campaign, along with Huntsville attorney Stan McDonald, who led the campaign through the primary.
“Majority Leader Ledbetter has spent the last three years working closely with Republican representatives and senators from every corner of our state, and the conservative reforms they implemented have made Alabama a better place to work, live, and raise children,” Tuberville said in a press release. “His team built upon the GOP supermajority in Alabama during the 2018 campaign cycle, and his experience and instincts will prove to be invaluable as we head toward November.”
Tuberville faces U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat, in the Nov. 3 general election.
Ledbetter is a former mayor of Rainsville who was elected to the Alabama House in 2014. The Republican caucus picked him as majority leader in 2017.
