Pamela Casey Leads in Grassroots Support in Alabama Attorney General Race

Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey has reported a significant number of individual donors in her initial campaign finance filing. Within just 12 days, Casey's campaign attracted 106 individual contributions, positioning her as the frontrunner in grassroots support among Attorney General candidates. 

Casey’s campaign reports that her contributions have come from all 7 of Alabama’s Congressional Districts, and include fellow District Attorneys, law enforcement officers (active and retired), business owners, teachers, and attorneys

Casey has been traveling the State, emphasizing her extensive prosecutorial experience and highlighting her nearly two decades of work in the courtroom. Notably, she is the only candidate in the race with direct experience prosecuting criminal cases. According to the Alabama District Attorneys Association, she is the only district attorney, and only one of two attorneys in the State who is Nationally Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. If elected, she would be Alabama’s first female Attorney General.

"I have traveled all over the state for the past several months and my message has been clear. I am the only candidate for Attorney General that has ever been in a courtroom and prosecuted criminals," Casey stated. "As a career prosecutor, I have the experience to do the job from the moment I am sworn in because I have almost two decades of experience prosecuting and convicting thieves, rapists, child predators and murderers and standing with law enforcement."

Casey's campaign underscores her commitment to public safety and her readiness to serve as Alabama's chief law enforcement officer from day one. She believes her hands-on experience in the courtroom makes her uniquely suited to address the State's crime challenges effectively.

Other declared or likely candidates in the Republican primary include former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell and Katherine Robertson, former Chief Counsel to outgoing Attorney General Steve Marshall. Robertson has not yet filed a campaign finance report, indicating she has not raised the $1,000 threshold that mandates such disclosure. At press time, there was no record of her forming a campaign committee on the Secretary of State’s website. Mitchell had not filed a campaign finance report for May, but on June 3 terminated his Supreme Court account, likely transferring the $641,983.52 in that account to an Attorney General committee formed on June 3.

No Democrat had any campaign filings in May for the Attorney General race.
