Gov. Kay Ivey announced today her intentions to run for governor again in 2022. Ivey made the announcement via social media and through a letter to the citizens of Alabama.
Here is the letter:
Over the last four years, Alabama has been put to the test. We’ve seen a global pandemic wreak havoc on our way of life.
We’ve seen natural disasters rip through the heart of our state. And now, we’re seeing a Democrat-run Washington out of step with our way of life that seeks to cancel those they disagree with.
But here in Alabama, we don’t back down. Instead, we’ve treated these challenges as opportunities to show the world what Alabama is made of –– opportunities to move us forward, rebuild our state stronger, and solidify the conservative values that make Alabama, Alabama.
Together, we’ve taken our economy to new heights, improved the quality of education for our next generation, and worked to connect every corner of the state with new roads and bridges.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together, friend. But I know that our work isn’t done yet.
Alabama is working again, and the best is yet to come.
That’s why today, I’m officially announcing my campaign for reelection to serve you –– and every Alabamian –– for four more years. Watch my announcement here.
There’s not a shred of a doubt in my mind that if we continue working together with Alabama common sense, we can move Alabama even further forward.
It won’t be easy — we have tough challenges ahead, but there’s no step too high for a high stepper.
I’m going to need your help, friend. I hope you will join me today by chipping in here to support my reelection.
Alabama is working again, and the best is yet to come. I’m all in for re-election — will you join me? https://t.co/WWfUU4jQal pic.twitter.com/TdmpTExurW
