Robertson Campaign Surges in Fundraising and Momentum as AG Race Heats Up
Campaign brought in $137,956.60 in September, had twice as many individual donors as next closest competitor
Katherine Robertson’s bid for Alabama’s next Attorney General is reporting strong fundraising, bringing in $137,956.60 in September. This amount outpaced her rivals and drew twice as many individual donors as the next closest competitor. Her total effort since June now hovers just under $2 million.
The campaign says this financial strength reflects broad grassroots backing and an expanding roster of high-profile endorsements—including support from the Alabama Farmers Federation, multiple County Sheriffs, and numerous Police Chiefs Statewide.
“Our campaign is powered by the people of Alabama—farmers, small business owners, families, and law enforcement leaders,” Robertson said. “From the farms in the Wiregrass to the factories in North Alabama, everyday Alabamians are stepping up … because they know I’ll stand strong as their Attorney General to protect our borders, defend our constitutional rights, and hold the radical left accountable.”
Robertson’s pitch is built around her record, conservative credentials, and experience. She has served as Chief Counsel in the Attorney General’s office for nearly a decade and positions herself as both tough and tested.
That experience is part of the contrast with opponent Jay Mitchell, who resigned from the bench earlier this year to enter the race. Mitchell is mounting a full-scale campaign centered on staunch conservatism—pledging to crack down on violent crime, enforce immigration laws, oppose DEI programs, and champion social issues such as the protection of unborn life.
Mitchell’s resignation was strategic: he left the bench just as the 2026 fundraising window opened, enabling him to deploy a war chest he had already amassed while on the Court—more than $640,000 in cash on hand, which he can roll into his AG campaign.
In contrast, Robertson’s campaign is pointing to steady fundraising gains and endorsements to argue that momentum is swinging her way.
Still, the race is far from settled. Jay Mitchell remains a formidable contender, as does Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey, who was recently named Alabama’s District Attorney of the Year.
