MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey was treated by paramedics on Sunday after he appeared to become unsteady at a campaign rally for congressional candidate Caroleene Dobson.

Ivey's office said the governor was dehydrated and was recovering after receiving fluids.

Ivey, 80, was attending a campaign rally for Dobson on Sunday evening at the SweetCreek Farm Market on Pike Road, about 18 miles southeast of Montgomery, when the incident occurred. Witnesses said Ivey was shaking as she stood next to Dobson, holding onto a beam for support. WAKA posted a video from the event showing the governor looking uncertain. The station reported that Ivey's employees then ran towards them. An ambulance was called to the scene of the accident.

“While campaigning for Caroleene Dobson at an event this evening, the governor was dehydrated. She was given fluids and examined on site as a precaution. She immediately felt better and is doing well at home tonight,” Ivey spokeswoman Gina Maiola wrote in a text message statement.

The Republican governor announced in 2019 that she had been diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer and was undergoing radiation treatment. She said in 2020 that the cancer appeared to be gone and that her doctor considered her cancer-free.

Dobson is the Republican candidate in the 2nd Congressional District. Ivey endorsed Dobson in the race.
