“With my football career behind me, Katherine and I are raising our boys here, instilling in them our deep Christian faith and teaching them the fundamental morals that make this state so special,” McCarron said in his announcement video.
He cited Charlie Kirk’s example as his reason “to get off the sidelines, and get into the game and stand tall” for Conservative beliefs.
McCarron is joining current Secretary of State Wes Allen, Cullman County Deputy Patrick Bishop, George Childress, Pastor Dean Odle, Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate and economist Nicole Wadsworth in the race for this position.
