In a political matchup currently saturated by talk of campaign finance, Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey announced Monday that she has loaned her campaign $500,000.

Casey, who has been a local district attorney since 2010, is running statewide for the first time against former Alabama Supreme Court Associate Justice Jay Mitchell and Katherine Robertson, longtime chief counsel to current AG Steve Marshall.

“I am deeply grateful for the encouragement I’ve received from Alabamians who want an Attorney General with proven courtroom experience,” Casey said.

“This campaign is about protecting families, standing with law enforcement, and bringing real results—not political games. The Alabama Attorney General race should be about experience not money.”

With the $500,000 loan reported to the Alabama Secretary of State’s office last Friday, Casey’s total balance stands at $589,549.39.

By comparison, Mitchell has $1,663,983.57 cash on hand and Robertson has $1,475,438.64.

Last week, Mitchell publicly called out Robertson for accepting $150,000 from a pro-abortion donor who once helped build an abortion clinic in Birmingham. Robertson responded with a range of critiques, saying Mitchell mislead donors during his campaign for Supreme Court, jeopardized the practice of in vitro fertilization in a 2024 majority opinion, and has accepted donations from an out-of-state law firm with ties to Democrats.

Casey said she is running a clean campaign and urged her opponents to “rise above” negative campaigning.

“Voters deserve to hear about qualifications and ideas—not attacks. I’m going to keep focusing on my experience, my record, and my vision for keeping our kids, families, and homes safe across Alabama. That’s what the voters deserve.”

The Alabama Republican Party primary for the Attorney General’s race is set for May 19, 2026.
