MONTGOMERY, Ala. — ProgressPAC, the political arm of the Business Council of Alabama (BCA), announced today its endorsement of former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell in his campaign for Attorney General of Alabama.
“Jay Mitchell has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the rule of law. He has been a proven ally of Alabama’s job creators and a committed defender of the free enterprise system,” said Helena Duncan, President and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama. “We’ve worked closely with Jay over the years, previously endorsing him in his two campaigns for the Alabama Supreme Court, and are confident in his ability to lead as our next Attorney General.”
ProgressPAC’s endorsement comes after a thorough review of the candidates in the race, which includes two impressive public servants: Katherine Robertson and Pamela Casey.
“All three candidates bring remarkable talent, conservative credentials, and strong records of service to the table,” said Gary Smith, chairman of ProgressPAC. “Our decision to endorse Jay Mitchell is grounded in our longstanding relationship with him and our belief that his judicial temperament, legal expertise, and leadership style make him uniquely qualified to take on this critical role at a critical time.”
As Attorney General, Mitchell has pledged to uphold the Constitution, protect Alabamians’ rights, and be a partner to law enforcement and the business community in strengthening the state’s legal and economic environment.
Prior to his time on the bench, Mitchell worked in private practice representing Alabama companies of all sizes, giving him firsthand insight into the legal and regulatory challenges business owners face.
ProgressPAC looks forward to supporting Jay Mitchell in his campaign and to continuing its engagement with all candidates committed to moving Alabama forward.
