U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) visited Opelika on Monday, July 13, attending the Alabama Sheriffs Association’s annual summer conference, which drew law enforcement leaders from across the state.

Tuberville, a former Auburn University head football coach who represented Alabama in the U.S. Senate since 2021, met with sheriffs and law enforcement officials gathered for the 2026 summer conference. Lee County Sheriff Cam Hunt — who won a contested May 2026 primary election over 27-year incumbent Jay Jones by 307 votes — was among those in attendance.
