In a campaign video, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said the best is yet to come for the state.

WBHM

Republican Gov. Kay Ivey announced her reelection campaign Wednesday, touting her leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and Alabama’s accomplishments during her first full term.

In a campaign video, Ivey, 76, noted the state’s economic growth, low unemployment and critical improvements in education and to the state’s infrastructure. In March, only 3.8% of the state’s workers did not have jobs, a rate that marked a low since the pandemic.

“Alabamians have shown the rest of the nation that our faith, resilience and common sense are what makes us and drives us forward to a promising future. I am proud to be your governor and would be honored to serve you for a second term,” Ivey said.

Ivey was sworn in as Alabama’s 54th governor in 2017 after then-governor Robert Bentley was forced to resign amid a scandal and a guilty plea to charges of campaign finance violations. She was elected to a full term in 2018. She’s the second woman to lead the state and has been involved in Alabama politics since 1979.

As of now, no Democratic candidates have announced a bid for the gubernatorial race, which is set for Nov. 8, 2022.

However, Ivey will face a primary challenge in May 2022 from fellow Republican Dean Odle, a controversial pastor.
