It is no secret that the gambling lobby is well-funded and well-organized. However, the 2026 election cycle has exposed just how determined they are to overrun the legislature with pro-gambling sentiment.
In particular, out of state political groups have sent millions of dollars to legislative races across the state.

In addition we have seen these same organizations engage in strong political attacks against anti-gambling candidates.
The report below provides a detailed look into this insidious efforts to influence Alabama elections. We encourage our supporters to read it carefully and remember what they learn when it comes time to make your voice heard in the political process.
This numbers in this report are current as of April 21, 2026, but will likely change as the gambling lobby continues to funnel even more money into Alabama elections.
