A candidate forum was held in April 2025, where both candidates participated. The candidates discussed issues such as anti-Israel movements in the US, transgender athletes, book bans, and chemtrails. [12] The candidates have agreed on most issues, including opposition to lottery in Alabama. [13] [14]
On April 14, Fallin signed the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge to never support any tax increases if elected. [15]
In a candidate forum held on April 30, Fallin accused Allbright of being hand-picked by "Montgomery officials and special interests," alluding to the money that Allbright has received from political action committees. Allbright denied the accusation that he was part of a "conspiracy," or was chosen to take over the seat. [16]
In May, Allbright's approval of a contract for an organization specializing in mental health was publicized. The organization later made posts on social media celebrating Pride Month, which led to Allbright being questioned by conservative media outlet 1819 News on his relationship with the organization. [17]
On May 5, an online poll was messaged to residents of District 11, accusing Fallin of taking money from "deep-blue, radical liberal states," along with various other accusatory claims. Fallin attributed these donations to veterans who were stationed around the country. Allbright issued a video statement in which he stated that he was "running a positive campaign." [18]
The election was called on the night of the election, Allbright won with 54% of the vote. [19]
