Calera Police Chief David Hyche has offered his support to Katherine Robertson, endorsing her in the Alabama Attorney General race.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Katherine Robertson for over a decade, and it’s clear that she shows up every day with one goal: to make Alabama a safer place,” said Chief Hyche. “Under her leadership, the Attorney General’s office played a key role in the opioid lawsuit, which brought critical funding to our city. Those funds allowed us to create an impactful school program we call Calera Accountability and Success through Education (CASE). The CASE program is focused on mental health, drug abuse prevention, online safety and vape cessation.” Hyche concluded with, “I’m proud to call Katherine a friend, and I wholeheartedly support her candidacy for Attorney General.”

In responding to the endorsement, Robertson said, “I am honored to have Chief Hyche’s support and endorsement in this race. Alabama is fortunate to have law enforcement leaders like him serving our communities. As Alabama’s next Attorney General, I will work hand in hand with stakeholders and law enforcement from across Alabama to ensure every resource is made available to take on those who ignore our laws and cause harm to the people we are sworn to serve”

Robertson has now received the endorsements of:

  • Alan Sears, Founder of Alliance Defending Freedom
  • Mason Bynum, Sheriff of Dale County
  • Phil Sims, Sheriff of Marshall County
  • Republican Attorneys General Association
  • David Hyche, Police Chief of Calera

The Republican primary is set for May 19, 2026.

Robertson will face former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey in the primary.
