President Trump is working hard to dig us out of a hole—and he needs a partner to pick up a shovel. As your Governor, I will work to further reduce taxes, get rid of waste, and make life in Alabama more affordable. I’m also committed to working with President Trump to cut red tape and bring more manufacturing jobs back to Alabama.  SECURING THE BORDER","source_url":"https://TOMMYFORSENATE.COM/issues","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"Education","stance":"Parents, not the government, should be in charge of their child's education","detail":"As a former educator for 40 years, I know that our kids are the most precious resource we have. When it comes to education, one-size-fits-all doesn’t work. As Governor, I will expand school choice and make sure that parents, not the government, are in charge of their child’s educational future. You can count on me to support charter, magnet, private, public, and homeschools and to make sure that students, not woke teachers' unions, always come first. PROTECTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT","source_url":"https://TOMMYFORSENATE.COM/issues","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"Abortion","stance":"Fighting for the unborn","detail":"Alabama is a pro-life state and believes, as I do, that every life is sacred and created by God. I took a lot of heat when I stood up to the Biden administration for 11 months over their immoral, taxpayer-funded abortion policy at the Department of Defense. Thankfully, my fight led the Trump administration to overturn the illegal policy. I’m not a politician and I’m not afraid to stand up for what’s right. As Governor, I will continue to champion Alabama’s conservative values and fight to protect the most vulnerable among us. PROTECTING ALABAMA'S FARMERS AND PRODUCERS","source_url":"https://TOMMYFORSENATE.COM/issues","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"Agriculture","stance":"Supporting our state's agriculture industry","detail":"The Biden administration tanked the U.S. farm economy. They signed bad trade deals and even worse regulations, driving farmers out of business. I support President Trump's comprehensive trade reset to ensure that our producers are competing on a level playing field in the global trade market. I have urged the Trump administration to impose aggressive tariffs against Vietnam's catfish and India's shrimp—two areas critical to protecting Alabama's seafood industry.  President Trump is leading the way, but there is more work to be done. With Alabama farmers struggling to break even due to low commodity prices, high input costs, inflation, and interest rates, they need help. I’ve relentlessly fought for farmers in the Senate and will continue fighting for them as Governor. BOOSTING ALABAMA'S DEFENSE","source_url":"https://TOMMYFORSENATE.COM/issues","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"Supporting our troops and investing in defense","detail":"I've been proud to represent Alabama's more than 100,000 active and reserve troops on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Over the past four years, I helped secure significant investments in Alabama’s defense industry, including a pay raise for our troops. Huntsville is at the heart of America's space and defense sectors. For four years, I fought tooth and nail to get U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM) headquarters returned to its rightful home at Redstone Arsenal after the Biden administration made a political decision moving it to Colorado. Thankfully, President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and Secretary Meink restored merit to the process by restoring SPACECOM to Huntsville. This will attract thousands of new jobs and save taxpayers nearly half a billion dollars. As Governor, I will continue to expand the critical role Alabama is already playing in space and defense and will attract even more investments and jobs to our great state. STANDING WITH VETERANS","source_url":"https://TOMMYFORSENATE.COM/issues","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"Putting our veterans first","detail":"My father was a highly decorated WWII veteran and Purple Heart recipient, and that is why I am so passionate about making sure our veterans get the best care possible. President Trump is off to a good start—veteran unemployment is at its lowest point in history. But we can and must do more to ensure that federal and state resources designed to support veterans as they transition from military to civilian life are successful. Alabama is home to more than 400,000 veterans and I am 100% committed to making sure they have access to the standard of care and benefits they deserve. bottom of page
