Statewide 2nd Amendment rights advocacy organization, BamaCarry, has announced endorsements in two GOP primary races in Alabama’s 2026 election cycle.
The group formally endorsed State Auditor Andrew Sorrell in his campaign for Alabama Secretary of State.
Sorrell, a former member of the Alabama House of Representatives, is a vocal advocate of the 2nd Amendment. During his time in the Legislature, he supported the successful passage of Alabama’s permitless carry law, which allows residents to carry concealed handguns without a permit.
“Alabama, it’s time to take a stand for our rights and our future! Andrew Sorrell, our trusted State Auditor and former State Representative for District 3, is running for Secretary of State-and he is the leader we need,” the endorsement from BamaCarry’s board reads.
“With a proven track record as a strong advocate for the 2nd Amendment, Andrew has tirelessly fought for our freedoms and stood side by side with BamaCarry. Andrew was instrumental in the passing the permitless carry bill, empowering Alabamians to protect themselves and their loved ones. Now, more than ever, we need a Secretary of State who embodies our values and champions our rights. Andrew Sorrell is that leader-committed to transparency, integrity, and the protection of our constitutional freedoms.”
Sorrell faces Republican primary opposition from Caroleene Dobson, a Montgomery attorney who previously ran for Congress in Alabama’s 2nd District. Dobson has emphasized election security measures and reducing business filing fees as part of her campaign platform.
In addition to Sorrell, BamaCarry also endorsed Case Dixon, a candidate for U.S. Congress in Alabama’s 6th District. Dixon, a physical therapist assistant from McCalla, has made protecting constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment, a central part of his campaign.
Dixon is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover), who has represented the district since 2015. Palmer, a senior member of the House Republican Conference, is seeking re-election in 2026.
