CONTRIBUTED BY GOV. IVEY’S OFFICE
ALABAMA — Gov. Kay Ivey and Gov.-elect Tommy Tuberville spoke Thursday, Nov. 5, to discuss the upcoming transition.
Ivey shared her congratulations with Tuberville on his hard-fought victory and conveyed that she and her administration would work diligently to ensure a smooth transition on Jan. 18.
Following the call, Ivey and Tuberville issued the following joint statement:
“Alabama is a special place to call home, and serving the people of this state as governor is a high responsibility. Over the next two and a half months, we will continue working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for our state. Alabama is experiencing great momentum, and we both want to see our state achieve even more success in the years ahead. Every single Alabamian in all 67 counties deserves a state government that works effectively for them, and we remain committed to delivering that during this transition period. We are confident Alabama’s best days are still in front of us.”
When Ivey was sworn in April 10, 2017, she took office with three hours to prepare, so ensuring a solid transition for Alabama’s next governor in these coming months is personal to her and of the utmost importance for the state.
