Former University of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron will not seek the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in 2026.

McCarron said in a statement that he is ending his campaign to focus on a new football opportunity that will take place sometime soon.

In his statement, he also endorsed U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a former head football coach at Auburn, for governor. McCarron said he may reconsider a political run someday in the future.

“While my job offer won’t allow me to run, it is time for political newcomers and conservative outsider candidates like Coach Tuberville to step forward and lead," McCarron said.

Left in the running are Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate, Opelika pastor Dean Odle and commercial realtor Nicole Wadsworth. The primary is May 19, 2026.
