Katherine Robertson Sells Out to Gambling
Katherine Robertson took gambling money for her campaign and has opened the door to gambling expansion in Alabama. Robertson has sold out Alabama families—and our values—for gambling money and influence.
For generations, Alabama's rural families and farmers have worked hard to protect our communities from the problems that come with gambling like addiction, debt, and harm to small town businesses. But Katherine Robertson has broken with that tradition by taking gambling money and opening the door to expanded gambling in the Alabama Attorney General's Office.

What This Means for Alabama Families
The Attorney General should fight gambling—not cash in on it.
For decades, Alabama's Attorneys General have stood as the last line of defense against the expansion of gambling in our state. They've protected families, small towns, and communities from the social costs that come with casinos and gambling interests. But Katherine Robertson has abandoned that tradition.
Gambling interests don't invest without expecting payback.
This isn't just a bad look—it's a dangerous precedent. How can the top law enforcement officer in our state hold big gambling accountable if she's on payroll? If gambling money can buy influence in her campaign, what will that mean for the decisions she makes in office?
Alabama deserves an Attorney General who will protect our communities, not one who gambles Alabama's Attorney General Office on casino money.
The Contrast Is Clear: Mitchell Declined Gambling Money, While Robertson Cashed In

Jay met with Alabama gambling special interests and told them directly: he opposes gambling in Alabama and declined their money.
Katherine Robertson

Robertson did the opposite. She ACCEPTED gambling money—and her filing records prove it.
Robertson's Hypocrisy
In 2015, while working for the Alabama Policy Institute, Robertson publicly opposed all forms of gambling, including lotteries and casino gambling. Today, Robertson accepts gambling money for her campaign and opens the door for gambling expansion throughout Alabama.
She's Betting You Won't Notice
Robertson accepted gambling money for her campaign and sold out Alabama's anti-gambling tradition. She's betting you won't notice.
