ARPAC Releases Endorsements for 2026, Backs Tuberville for Governor

The Alabama REALTORS® Political Action Committee (ARPAC) has released its list of endorsed candidates for the 2026 election cycle, throwing its support behind a slate of Republicans seeking Statewide constitutional offices and key judicial posts.

ARPAC, the political arm of the Alabama Association of REALTORS®, said its selections reflect a focus on economic growth, property rights, and a stable legal climate—issues closely tied to the state’s real estate market.

“The endorsed candidates have shown a commitment to protecting property rights, supporting small businesses, upholding the rule of law, and fostering an economic atmosphere that allows Alabama’s real estate industry to remain healthy and growing,” said ARPAC Board of Trustees Chair Sherri McCollum.

The group’s top-ticket endorsement went to U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville in the race for Governor, alongside a full slate of candidates for other constitutional offices.

Alabama REALTORS® CEO Jeremy Walker said the organization is confident in the direction of the candidates it chose to back.

“These candidates share a small business ideology grounded in hard work, free enterprise, and limited government,” Walker said. “Their leadership will help keep Alabama competitive and ensure our state remains one of the best places in the country to live, raise a family, and do business. We look forward to supporting their campaigns.”

The ARPAC-endorsed candidates for Statewide constitutional offices and appellate judicial posts are:

State Constitutional Offices:

Governor: Tommy Tuberville

Lieutenant Governor: Wes Allen

Attorney General: Jay Mitchell

Secretary of State: Caroleene Dobson

State Treasurer: Young Boozer

Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries: Jack Williams

ARPAC’s endorsements are often seen as a signal to business-minded voters and donors, particularly those tied to housing, development, and local commerce. With real estate remaining a key driver of Alabama’s economy, the group’s backing can carry weight in both primary and general election contests.

The 2026 election cycle is expected to draw strong turnout across the State, with several open seats and high-profile races shaping the ballot.
