BIRMINGHAM – Pledging to continue a commitment to keeping Alabama families safe, Katherine Robertson announced her candidacy for attorney general of Alabama.
Robertson served as chief counsel to Attorney General Steve Marshall for nearly a decade and worked at the U.S. Department of Justice and as legislative counsel to former Sen. Jeff Sessions.
“Alabama needs a proven fighter who will harness the power of the attorney general’s office to protect our communities and uphold our values,” Robertson said at Tuesday’s campaign launch from Regions Field in Birmingham. “I believe the first civil right of every Alabamian is to live free from the fear of violence.
“As attorney general, I will ensure violent offenders, including those in our country illegally, do not roam freely, and law enforcement will always know I have their back.”
Robertson said her priorities include cracking down on crime by supporting law enforcement, ensuring public safety remains paramount, and passing tougher laws on gangs, child exploitation, and illegal immigration.
“You heard AG Marshall say that I am the law enforcement candidate in this race, and I am. This is their race, and they know that I’m their girl,” Robertson said. “ I’m running because Alabama needs a strong, steadfast attorney general who knows how to get things done. My record speaks for itself, and I’m ready to do the next right thing — decisively.”
An eighth-generation Alabamian from a Dallas County farming family, Robertson is a graduate of Auburn University and the University of Alabama School of Law. As a wife and mother of two, Robertson said she understands the critical need to ensure safety and security for all Alabama families – a focal point of her service to the State of Alabama as well as her campaign.
Under Marshall’s leadership, Robertson played a pivotal role in leading national litigation to protect women’s sports, reforming Alabama’s parole system, passing the Speedy Trial Act, election integrity, and protecting citizens from government overreach.
“On my watch, the whims of the fanatical left will never make inroads in Alabama,” said Robertson. “The woke mob won’t be able to tell us a boy can play girls sports, and we will continue to ensure that George Soros never gains a foothold in our criminal justice system.”
