What happened
Tommy Tuberville was elected governor of Alabama, while Allison Montgomery and Barry Moore won seats in the state and U.S. Senate, respectively.

Why it matters
The proposed elimination of the state grocery tax and reduction of income taxes could alter Alabama's economic structure. Furthermore, the new administration's stated goals, combined with the legislative push for affordability and worker protections, may influence business costs and consumer demand within the state.
Alabama state legislative elections are underway, with Republicans holding control and Democrats aiming to flip seats in Mobile and Huntsville.
