On Sunday, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey received treatment from paramedics after showing signs of unsteadiness at a campaign rally for congressional candidate Caroleene Dobson.
According to her office, Ivey experienced dehydration but quickly recovered after receiving intravenous fluids. Her spokeswoman confirmed that she was back to work on Monday.
At 80 years old, Governor Kay Ivey was at a Sunday evening campaign rally for Caroleene Dobson, held at SweetCreek Farm Market in Pike Road, approximately 18 miles southeast of Montgomery, when she experienced difficulties.
Witnesses reported seeing Ivey shaking while standing with Dobson and gripping a beam for support. WAKA aired footage from the rally showing the governor appearing unsteady. The report indicated that Ivey’s staff quickly rushed to her aid, prompting the call for an ambulance.
“While campaigning for Caroleene Dobson at an event this evening, the governor got dehydrated. She received fluids and was evaluated on site out of precaution. She immediately felt better and is at home doing well this evening,” Ivey spokeswoman Gina Maiola wrote in a texted statement.
Maiola confirmed that the governor was present in her office on Monday, with meetings planned with legislative leaders and other officials. In 2019, the Republican governor disclosed that she had been diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer and would be undergoing radiation therapy. By 2020, she announced that the cancer seemed to be in remission, and her doctor had deemed her cancer-free.
Caroleene Dobson is the Republican nominee running for the 2nd Congressional District. Governor Kay Ivey has publicly endorsed her candidacy, showing her support for Dobson as she competes in the upcoming election. Ivey’s endorsement is significant, as it reflects her backing of Dobson’s campaign and highlights the importance of this race within the Republican party in Alabama.
