Ken McFeeters Qualifies in Alabama GOP Governors Race

Republican Ken McFeeters has officially qualified to run for Governor of Alabama, formalizing a campaign that frames the upcoming primary as a stark choice over the direction of the State.

McFeeters, an insurance agent and businessman, says his top priorities include eliminating property taxes on owner-occupied homes, ending unconstitutional government overreach, making Alabama food-independent, reforming the State’s education system, and rethinking modern medicine to better serve citizens rather than bureaucracies.

McFeeters also outlined a grassroots campaign strategy that reflects his view of leadership.

“I’m going to live the dream of every American schoolboy—traveling the state in a Jeep Rubicon, my German Shepherd by my side, talking about truth, justice, and the American—and Alabama—way,” McFeeters said. “My job is to remind people that they are in charge of the government, not the other way around.”

Addressing concerns about federal surveillance and emerging technologies, McFeeters criticized what he called a dangerous shift away from constitutional principles.

“My job is to remind Republicans that we are supposed to be the good guys,” McFeeters said. “We don’t anoint candidates, and we don’t support the federal government using military- and intelligence-grade surveillance tools against its own citizens. That’s insane. Both the establishment and the media are out of touch with everyday Alabamians for allowing this to happen.”

McFeeters added that he does not support government tracking of citizens through AI data centers using military and intelligence agency surveillance systems.

“No one I talk to thinks mass tracking of citizens is a good idea,” he said. “So why are leaders (Tuberville) pushing it? Why are they doing this? Republicans are supposed to defend liberty—not turn military-grade psychological operations and intelligence tools inward on the people they serve.”

McFeeters criticized his opponents—Doug Jones (D) and Tommy Tuberville (R)—saying they rely on “the same tired tactics of oppression, division, and fear” while Americans continue to lose fundamental rights.

“They work for the same interests and it's not the people of Alabama,” McFeeters said.

Reflecting on his outsider candidacy, McFeeters shared a recent exchange in which he was told he “doesn’t look like a politician.”

“People aren’t used to politicians who look like freedom, virtue, and truth,” he replied. “The people of Alabama have been waiting a long time for someone like me—and they will warm up to freedom, virtue, and truth very quickly.”

McFeeters closed with a message of unity to voters across the state:

“Remember Alabama—united we stand, divided we fall. Don’t let them divide us.”
