Republican attorney general nominee Katherine Robertson announced on Tuesday that veteran political strategist Katelanne Fadalla of Mobile has been appointed to serve as campaign manager for the general election. 

Annabel Martinson, who ran Robertson’s successful primary and runoff races, accepted a position recently with Huntsville Hospital.

“Katelanne is a seasoned campaign veteran who assembled our statewide grassroots network during the Republican primary and runoff, and she has the proven skills and experience to help lead us to victory in November,” Robertson said. “All of us appreciate Annabel’s hard work and dedication over the past year, and we wish her the best as she accepts the long-term career opportunity that has been presented to her.”

In addition to her previous work for Robertson, Fadalla brings more than a decade of experience in campaign management, grassroots organizing, voter outreach, and community engagement to her new role.

She served as political director for the campaigns of former Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson and current Mobile Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis. Fadalla also managed field operations, voter contact, and absentee ballot programs across South Alabama and the Gulf Coast region for several statewide candidates, including U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) in 2022.

In addition to her campaign work, Fadalla has amassed significant public affairs experience and served as a special assistant to Stimpson, where she led strategic initiatives, coalition-building, and community development projects for the City of Mobile.

Fadalla currently serves on the board of trustees for St. Paul’s Episcopal School, the board of directors for Prichard Preparatory School and the board of commissioners for the Mobile Housing Authority.

She and her husband, Tony, reside in Mobile, where they are raising their family and remain actively involved in civic and charitable initiatives.
