One day after officially announcing his candidacy for lieutenant governor of Alabama, John Wahl announced a historic, record-breaking campaign launch—raising more than $1 million in the first day of his campaign, the largest day-one fundraising total ever reported in an Alabama lieutenant governor race. The milestone fundraising haul reflects widespread support for Wahl’s conservative record, policy priorities and vision for Alabama’s future. President Trump called John Wahl “a true MAGA warrior and America First patriot,” and finished his statement with, “Should he decide to enter this Race, John Wahl has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, JOHN, RUN!”With the 2026 election cycle just heating up, Wahl’s campaign enters the race with strong momentum and a rapidly expanding statewide organization. “John Wahl has already proven he can lead,” said a campaign spokesperson.
