Steven T Marshall

Redistricting / Voting Rights

Opposes court-ordered creation of a second majority-Black congressional district in Alabama, arguing it is not the state's responsibility to guarantee Democrats a safe seat.

Marshall has publicly pushed back on arguments that Alabama must draw a second majority-Black district, stating 'It's not our responsibility,' and has worked to free a State Senate district from a court-ordered racial gerrymander.

Race and Politics

Argues Black voters would be better served by supporting Republican policies rather than Democratic representation.

Marshall drew criticism, including from Rep. Terri Sewell, after suggesting Black voters are 'better off' under GOP policies, reflecting his broader conservative political positioning.

Campaign Finance / Outside Spending

Opposes influence of out-of-state and dark-money groups like the Club for Growth in Alabama elections, framing himself as independent from such influence.

Marshall has criticized out-of-state groups and the Club for Growth for running ads against him, saying 'They hate that I can't be bought,' positioning himself as resistant to outside political money.

Law Enforcement / Public Safety

Strongly supportive of law enforcement, using his record as Attorney General to emphasize pro-police policies.

News coverage highlights defenses of Marshall by family members of law enforcement officers against attack ads, suggesting his campaign emphasizes a pro-law enforcement record from his tenure as AG.

Party Loyalty / Trump Relationship

Continues his Senate campaign despite former President Trump endorsing his primary opponent Barry Moore, indicating independence from Trump's direct endorsement.

Marshall vowed 'I most certainly don't back up' after Trump endorsed Barry Moore in the Senate race, signaling he is running his campaign on his own record rather than solely on Trump's backing.

Record as Attorney General

Campaigns on his tenure as Alabama Attorney General as a foundation for a U.S. Senate run.
