The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Alabama announced on Tuesday its endorsement of Katherine Robertson in the race for Alabama Attorney General.
Robertson, chief counsel for Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, is running against former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey in the Republican primary. Marshall is term-limited from seeking another term as attorney general and is instead running for the Senate.
"Katherine Robertson has spent nearly a decade in the Attorney General's Office standing up for Alabama's construction industry and fighting back against federal overreach that threatens our ability to do business," said ABC of Alabama chairman Tim Harrison. "She understands the challenges we face—from burdensome regulations to workforce shortages—and has a proven track record of delivering results. That's why we're proud to endorse her for Attorney General."
Robertson said, "It is a real honor to receive the endorsement of Alabama's construction industry leaders."
"The Alabama Attorney General's Office plays a key role in protecting our state's economy, which includes our robust construction industry," she added. "I've been proud to use the tools of the AG's Office to expose the sham ESG movement, to unwind oppressive regulatory schemes, and to help usher in a freer market for construction in Alabama. ABC has a deep understanding of and appreciation for their partnership with the AG's Office and I'm grateful that the organization wants to see that partnership continue under my leadership."
Associated Builders and Contractors of Alabama represents the state's merit-shop construction industry, which creates 200,000 jobs and accounts for 5% of the state's economic output.
