Alabama BeefPAC, the political arm of the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association, has announced its support for Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen in the 2026 lieutenant governor’s race and Katherine Robertson in the race for attorney general.
“Wes has a proven, conservative, business-friendly track record,” said Alabama Cattlemen’s Association President Keith Glover of Hale County. “We are confident his experience in various political roles has prepared him to lead our state and carry out priorities important to Alabama agriculture.”
Allen thanked cattle producers across the state for their support in his bid for lieutenant governor. “I am incredibly honored to receive the support of the hardworking men and women from across this state that raise the cattle that feed us,” Allen said. “Food security is national security. By supporting thousands of jobs and contributing more than $2.5 billion to Alabama’s economy, the state’s beef cattle industry plays a vital role in agriculture—Alabama’s leading economic driver.”
Alabama BeefPAC also announced its support for Katherine Robertson in her campaign for Alabama attorney general. Robertson is a Republican candidate for the office and has served in the Attorney General’s Office for more than a decade.
“I have appreciated the close relationship that our Association has had with the Attorney General’s Office throughout Katherine’s ten years of leadership. Katherine knows first-hand the challenges that our cattlemen face, but she’s also proven to be adept at delivering solutions. We know exactly what we’re going to get with Katherine as Attorney General—a hard worker, a dedicated conservative, and an effective advocate. We are pleased to support her in this race,” said Alabama Cattlemen’s Association Executive Vice President Erin Beasley.
Robertson shared her appreciation for the organization’s backing. “As the granddaughter of a cattleman, I am deeply honored by the support of the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association. I have the utmost respect and admiration for those who feed our state and nation and understand the importance of standing up for them. As Attorney General, I will continue to protect property rights, fight excessive regulations, and will do everything in my power to ensure that rural Alabama and our agricultural industries thrive,” Robertson said.
The Alabama Cattlemen’s Association does not issue candidate endorsements directly and instead supports candidates through its political arm, BeefPAC.
Allen is running in a Republican primary field that includes Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate and former Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl, while Robertson is seeking the attorney general’s nomination in a field that includes former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey.
The Republican primary election will be held on May 19, 2026.
