The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) announced on Wednesday that its executive committee voted to endorse Katherine Robertson for Alabama Attorney General in 2026.
Robertson is the only candidate in an open race for attorney general to earn this distinction in the 2026 election cycle and is one of fewer than 10 candidates in open seats over the past 27 years to be formally endorsed by RAGA.
Before the formal endorsement of the RAGA Executive Committee, a record number of AGs had already endorsed Robertson's candidacy.
"It is a very high standard for RAGA to endorse in a primary. Katherine Robertson exceeds that standard and has an impeccable track record of fighting for conservative values throughout her entire career," stated RAGA chairman and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach.
According to RAGA, Robertson has been an exemplary attorney and member of the Alabama Attorney General's Office and comes from a long line of talented conservative Republican leaders. This is a significant endorsement for RAGA, given the critical role Alabama has played in the conservative legal movement and in RAGA's history.
"Katherine Robertson is a fierce fighter for the America First movement and is dedicated to standing on Freedom's Front Line," stated Adam Piper, RAGA executive director.
According to RAGA, Robertson has had an accomplished record as chief counsel to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, including:
- led the fight against Biden's Title IX redefinition and spearheaded efforts to protect women's privacy;
- fought Biden vaccine mandates and asserted state sovereignty over health and safety;
- built a coalition of conservative female legal leaders to support AG Bondi's confirmation;
- crafted the national ability to implement and refocus the death penalty;
- broke up the climate change cabal and amplified the ESG fight through a free market lens;
- challenged DAGA's radical unrestricted abortion litmus test;
- assisted successful SCOTUS wins with other state AGs;
- fought for free speech and religious liberty on Alabama's college campuses;
- crusaded against antisemitic sentiment; and
- consistently championed President Trump's America First Agenda.
Suzanna McKinney, campaign manager for Jay Mitchell, said in a statement, "The contrast between these two candidates could not be clearer: our opponent pursues money from anyone anywhere—regardless of if they oppose the President, build abortion clinics, or operate casinos for a living."
"Meanwhile, real conservatives who actually live in the state of Alabama have spoken loudly: they want Jay Mitchell to be their next Attorney General," McKinney said.
Robertson, Mitchell, and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey are all seeking the Republican nomination in the 2026 race to be Alabama's next attorney general.
