The most ludicrously expensive race in Alabama this election cycle—the race to be Alabama’s next attorney general—continued to see massive amounts of money pour in through November.
Both Jay Mitchell, a former Alabama Supreme Court justice, and Katherine Robertson, chief counsel in the AG’s office, reported six-figure hauls. Robertson touted more total money raised in the month, while Mitchell bragged about his cash-on-hand funding lead.
To be certain, the figures—for a job that pays just over $200,000 per year for an office that has never been considered the height of political prominence—are absurd.
Robertson took in more than $300,000 in the month, pushing her total raised to more than $2.7 million. She currently has about $1.4 million on hand.
Mitchell, in the meantime, reported $142,000 raised in November, and he now has $2.1 million sitting in his campaign account.
Both candidates again touted their fundraising efforts among “Alabama conservative donors,” and each of them noted their many endorsements from law enforcement and other state leaders.
In the meantime, candidate Pamela Casey, who serves as the Blount County district attorney, continued to post respectable, rational fundraising numbers. She brought in a little more than $5,000 for the month and now has just under $600,000 on hand.
