Alabama Grocers Association Endorses Caroleene Dobson for Secretary of State

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Alabama Grocers Association (AGA) announced on Monday its endorsement of Caroleene Dobson to be Alabama’s next Secretary of State.

“The Alabama Grocers Association is proud to endorse Caroleene Dobson for Secretary of State,” said Ellie Taylor, President and CEO of AGA. “This office plays a vital role in maintaining a strong, efficient business climate in Alabama. From streamlined filings to regulatory clarity, the Secretary of State’s leadership directly impacts grocery stores across our state."

“Dobson understands the importance of this role and will help ensure Alabama’s grocers can operate efficiently, grow confidently, and continue serving their communities.”

Dobson has pledged to streamline business filings and reduce delays that frustrate employers and drive up costs for Alabama families.

“Grocery stores across Alabama are operated by independent retailers who support rural communities and create local jobs,” Dobson said. “They should not be hindered by unnecessary red tape or unclear directions coming out of Montgomery. As Secretary of State, I will implement faster filings, provide straightforward guidance, and build a system that respects the time of Alabama job creators.”

An attorney by trade, Dobson says her legal background gives her a strong understanding of regulatory structure and the responsibility of administering state law.

Dobson is committed to modernizing the Business Services Division and cutting government regulations that slow economic growth. She will also focus on protecting Alabama’s elections from fraud, outside interference, and federal overreach.

The Alabama Grocers Association represents retail grocers and food industry partners serving communities throughout Alabama.
