Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports major tax cuts including a pledge to eliminate property taxes on owner-occupied homes and promotes a smaller, less intrusive government with a pro-freedom, pro–local-control economic approach.
Healthcare
The candidate criticizes the current health industry as profit-driven, expresses skepticism about COVID vaccination and modern medical practices, and calls for Alabama to have more independent/local production of medicine. He frames healthcare problems around costs and quality but does not provide clear, detailed policy proposals on coverage, the ACA, or market-based reforms. Available public statements emphasize distrust of pharmaceuticals and a desire for ‘independence’ in medicine rather than specific legislative plans.

Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes energy independence and securing the state's water and power resources, promoting local production of energy alongside local food and medicine. Public statements frame energy policy as part of broader economic and independence goals rather than endorsing aggressive emissions regulations or major federal climate frameworks.
News
AINews Summary
Last updatedMar 14, 2026
Ken McFeeters is in the news for opposing an Alabama bill (HB392) that would replace elected Public Service Commission members with gubernatorial appointees. He argues the change could encourage political favoritism, as the proposal draws controversy over potential utility company influence. The issue has become a point of contrast with rival candidate Tommy Tuberville, who supports the legislation.
