ProgressPAC, the political arm of the Business Council of Alabama (BCA), announced on Monday its endorsement of former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell in his campaign for the Republican nomination for attorney general in 2026.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, a candidate for U.S. Senate, is term-limited from seeking re-election to his current role.
“Jay Mitchell has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the rule of law. He has been a proven ally of Alabama’s job creators and a committed defender of the free enterprise system,” said Helena Duncan, president and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama. “We’ve worked closely with Jay over the years, previously endorsing him in his two campaigns for the Alabama Supreme Court, and are confident in his ability to lead as our next Attorney General.”
According to a BCA press release, ProgressPAC’s endorsement comes after a thorough review of the other candidates in the race: Katherine Robertson and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey.
“All three candidates bring remarkable talent, conservative credentials, and strong records of service to the table,” said Gary Smith, chairman of ProgressPAC. “Our decision to endorse Jay Mitchell is grounded in our longstanding relationship with him and our belief that his judicial temperament, legal expertise, and leadership style make him uniquely qualified to take on this critical role at a critical time.”
