Instead, they threw their weight behind U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville in his bid for governor. They also tapped Katherine Robertson, the chief prosecutor in the Attorney General's office, to run for that top legal spot. On the federal side, incumbents got the nod. U.S. reps Mike Rogers from sex, Gary Palmer from Hoover, and Robert Aderholt from Haleyville. These picks show the NRA sticking with proven allies in Washington.
