ALFA Backs Robertson for AG, Shakes Up Race!

Hold onto your hats, folks! The Alabama Farmers Federation (ALFA) has officially thrown its considerable weight behind Katherine Robertson in the 2026 Attorney General race. This is HUGE.

A Game-Changing Endorsement

Voted on by Federation officials from all 67 counties, this endorsement could seriously mess with the narrative spun by former Justice Jay Mitchell, who's been positioning himself as the only truly "Alabama-backed" candidate.

"Homegrown" vs. "Out-of-State" No More?

Mitchell’s been painting Robertson as having "out-of-state" support (thanks to an endorsement from the Republican Attorneys General Association). But ALFA's move completely flips the script.

FarmPAC's Power Play

With over 365,000 members statewide and a powerful county network, FarmPAC’s endorsement is the one everyone wants in an Alabama Republican primary.

Grassroots Power

Federation President Jimmy Parnell emphasized the rigorous vetting process, highlighting that endorsed candidates have spent months connecting with local leaders and attending county meetings. "They know our people, and we know them," Parnell stated.

Robertson's Roots

Robertson currently serves as Chief Counsel to current AG Steve Marshall, has a decade of experience in the AG’s office, and boasts eight generations of farmers in Dallas County in her background. Not exactly an outsider!

Timing is Everything

ALFA's timing is key. Their backed candidates get the benefit of serious county-level organizing, from direct marketing to ubiquitous sample ballots.

A Rural Advantage

The Federation’s ground game is a force to be reckoned with, especially in rural counties where farming and small-business networks are deeply connected with the most reliable GOP voters.

Mitchell's Narrative Challenged

This endorsement undermines Mitchell’s "Alabama first" campaign, which has leaned on endorsements from other Alabama organizations. ALFA’s endorsement means Robertson now has both national firepower and serious in-state backing. Get ready for a wild ride to the May 2026 primary!
