Republican state Senate candidate John Roberts has raised more than $100,000 in just three weeks following the launch of his campaign for Alabama Senate District 2, according to figures released by the campaign on Monday.
Roberts, a Huntsville businessman and political newcomer, reported raising $101,675 from 89 individual donors in the 21 days following his announcement. The campaign says the support demonstrates growing momentum and enthusiasm across the district.
“I am honored that our campaign has generated this kind of excitement about the future of Senate District 2 and Alabama,” Roberts said. “We have received contributions from citizens and businesses, which shows our vision and message resonates with voters in every demographic.”
In addition to his early fundraising success, Roberts has secured key endorsements from Progress PAC—the political arm of the Business Council of Alabama—and the Huntsville Madison County Builders Association.
“These organizations understand what it takes to build a strong economy—smart policies, skilled workers, and support for job creators,” said Roberts. “I’m honored to have them endorse our campaign for State Senate. I look forward to partnering with our business community to advance the policies Alabama needs to compete and win.”
Roberts is seeking the Republican nomination for the open seat being vacated by longtime Senator Tom Butler, R-Madison, who announced he will not seek reelection in 2026.
“In 21 days, we have built a coalition of working Alabamians, conservative leaders, and business leaders looking to build a better Alabama, and we are just getting started,” Roberts said.
The campaign plans to continue building its grassroots network and engaging voters across the district as the 2026 election cycle begins to take shape.
