Andrew Sorrell Announces 2026 Secretary of State Bid

Alabama State Auditor Andrew Sorrell has announced his candidacy for the Secretary of State position in the 2026 election, emphasizing the importance of election integrity and preventing voter fraud. Sorrell, a Republican, pledges to ensure that all legally cast votes are counted accurately and to implement measures such as post-election audits and a Division of Election Integrity to enhance transparency. He is currently the only candidate after the current Secretary of State Wes Allen declared his run for lieutenant governor. Sorrell, who has a history of promoting conservative policies, including his attempt to ban abortion pills, aims to continue his efforts to protect Alabama's elections. During his tenure as auditor, he has saved taxpayer money by implementing cost-cutting measures. The state primaries will take place in May next year, with Sorrell seeking to continue the strides made in previous administrations to secure election processes in Alabama.
