Katherine Robertson, the longtime top assistant for Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, is joining the race to replace her boss.
Robertson will announce her candidacy for the Republican nomination for attorney general Tuesday night at Regions Field in Birmingham, according to her campaign.
Marshall will speak at the campaign launch.
The race is for an open seat. Marshall is in his second full term as AG and could not seek a third.
Marshall has announced he is running for the U.S. Senate.
Robertson has been chief counsel for Marshall since 2017. Before that, Robertson worked at the U.S. Department of Justice and for U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions as legislative counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Robertson is a former vice president of the Alabama Policy Institute.
“With extensive legal experience, she is running for Attorney General to strengthen public safety, defend constitutional values, and serve Alabama’s communities in the 2026 election cycle,” Robertson’s campaign said in a press release.
Robertson has a political science degree from Auburn University and graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law.
