Katherine Robertson, the Republican nominee to succeed her longtime boss, Steve Marshall, as Alabama Attorney General, told One America News from the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention in Dallas that Democrats “trade in misery” while Republicans are “offering hope.”
Robertson, Marshall’s chief counsel for nearly a decade, won the June 16 GOP runoff over former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell and faces Democrat Jeff McLaughlin in November.
She was in Dallas this week alongside other Republican attorney general candidates for the two-day convention, which closed Thursday night at the American Airlines Center.
Robertson said Alabamians “are worried about the economy, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not plenty of room for momentum for the Republican Party heading into November.”

“What our party offers is a totally different way of life than what the Democrats are offering right now,” she said. “They are pushing socialist, if not communist, policies.”
“Liberals love misery. They trade in misery. That’s their brand, and I think Republicans are offering hope,” Robertson said. “We always try to emphasize American exceptionalism. We try to emphasize policies that lift everybody up. That’s what this convention is about, and I think it makes sense that Republicans want to have a party to celebrate and get together and gin up momentum.”
“Liberals just want to talk about how miserable everything is. They don’t love our country. They don’t love the SAVE Act. They don’t want to have reasonable regulations on immigration,” she said.
“What they sell is misery. And they believe misery loves company, but I don’t think it does.”
“Alabamians are liberty-loving people. We are not going to become a surveillance state, but we do want our law enforcement to have strong tools,” Robertson said of the debate over Flock cameras in Alabama.
