Jay Mitchell’s campaign for Alabama attorney general announced Tuesday that it has over $1.25 million on hand in its first campaign finance report to be released this week “in an extraordinary show of strength and early momentum,” their release said.

In his first monthly report to the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office since announcing his campaign for attorney general, Mitchell reports a cash-on-hand total exceeding $1.25 million. 

“This early support is humbling and energizing,” Mitchell said. “It tells me that Alabamians are ready for a conservative fighter who will stand with President Trump and keep Alabama families safe.”

Mitchell previously served on the Alabama Supreme Court, where he “built a strong record of conservative, constitutional rulings” and “earned respect across the legal community,” his campaign said. His early fundraising success reflects enthusiasm among grassroots conservatives and other Alabamians who share his vision in the attorney general’s office.
