Gov. Kay Ivey was evaluated and treated by paramedics at a campaign event for Congressional candidate Caroleene Dobson on Sunday night in Montgomery.

Gina Maiola, the governor’s communications director, released a statement about the incident, which happened at the SweetCreek Farm Market.

“While campaigning for Caroleene Dobson at an event this evening, the governor got dehydrated,” Maiola said. “She received fluids and was evaluated on site out of precaution. She immediately felt better and is at home doing well this evening.”

Ivey, 80, has been Alabama’s governor since April 2017. She started her second four-year term in January 2023.

Ivey announced in September 2019 she had lung cancer and released a statement from her doctor in January 2020 saying he considered her cured after radiation treatment. The governor described the cancer as a small, isolated malignancy.
