Pamela Casey, Blount County DA, Loans $500,000 to Her AG Campaign

Pamela Casey, the longtime Blount County District Attorney, announced today that she has personally loaned $500,000 to her campaign for Alabama Attorney General.

Casey—who previously served as Assistant and Deputy State Attorney General before becoming DA in 2010—framed the loan as a vote of confidence in her proven courtroom record.

“I am deeply grateful for the encouragement I’ve received from Alabamians who want an Attorney General with proven courtroom experience,” Casey said. “This campaign is about protecting families, standing with law enforcement, and bringing real results—not political games. The Alabama Attorney General race should be about experience not money.”

She emphasized her years spent prosecuting violent crime and representing victims—elements she says set her apart.

“This office is not an entry-level job,” Casey added. “I am the only candidate who has spent years in the courtroom prosecuting cases and making tough decisions to keep our communities safe.”

Casey also called on rivals to rise above personal attacks.

“Voters deserve to hear about qualifications and ideas—not attacks. I’m going to keep focusing on my experience, my record, and my vision for keeping our kids, families, and homes safe across Alabama. That’s what the voters deserve.”

Last Friday, attacks and allegations began flying between the two other Republican AG candidates when Jay Mitchell accused Katherine Robertson of taking significant donations from a pro-abortion billionaire and “a shadowy anti-MAGA out-of-state dark money group.” Robertson's campaign promptly fired back, saying that Mitchell’s attacks were an attempt to mislead voters while he has been “actively soliciting and accepting contributions from woke anti-Trump Chicago trial lawyers who have a long history of bankrolling radical liberals such as Kamala Harris, Rashida Talib, and Elizabeth Warren.”

Money and its source has already become a major issue in the Attorney General race. As of late July, Jay Mitchell had raised over $1.7 million, with about $1.66 million still in hand, while Katherine Robertson had raised around $1.45 million, holding about $1.26 million in cash on hand.

By contrast, Casey’s fundraising totals remain modest. As of July 31, she had raised just over $108,000, with $89,549 available.

Despite the gap in funds, Casey leans on her grassroots momentum. Early in her campaign, she reported receiving 106 donations in her first 12 days of fundraising—from all seven of Alabama’s congressional districts.

Casey‘s campaign argues that this local, wide-ranging support speaks to her authenticity and prosecutorial strengths—something the other candidates can’t claim.
