Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has confirmed he will not campaign for governor in the upcoming 2026 election.
The decision followed discussions with his wife, concluding that it was not the right move for their family.
Marshall emphasized he remains committed to his role as attorney general, which he has held since 2017, and plans to continue serving the state.
He noted that his decision does not signify an end to his political career, clarifying future possibilities are still open.
The announcement comes as Alabama Governor Kay Ivey approaches the end of her term, prompting a potentially crowded race for her successor in the 2026 election.
