The Electric Cooperatives of Alabama Political Action Committee, PAC, announced Monday its endorsement of Caroleene Dobson in her campaign for Alabama Secretary of State.
“Caroleene has a heart for rural Alabama and the communities our electric cooperatives serve, while also bringing the integrity and sound judgment needed to oversee Alabama’s business filings and elections process,” said Karl Rayborn, CEO of Alabama Rural Electric Association of Cooperatives, AREA. “We believe she is the perfect candidate for the job, and we are proud to support her as Alabama’s next Secretary of State.”
A native of Monroe County, Dobson grew up on her family’s fifth-generation cattle farm, “where she learned the value of hard work and gained a deep understanding of rural communities,” the organization stated. Now, as an attorney, her legal career has focused on commercial real estate, natural resource and energy law, and representing diverse clientele including businesses and landowners across Alabama.
“Growing up in rural Alabama taught me just how essential our electric cooperatives are to sustaining families, farms, and small businesses,” said Dobson. “I am grateful for AREA’s work to deliver reliable, affordable energy that powers Alabama’s economy, and I look forward to working alongside them as Secretary of State to make life more affordable for the people of Alabama.”
“This endorsement reflects the collective support of Alabama’s electric cooperatives and underscores AREA’s commitment to strengthening rural communities and advancing progress,” the PAC said.
