Caroline Dobson Discusses Election Integrity and Campaign Priorities

Alabama candidate Caroline Dobson recently appeared on the Capitol Journal to outline her main priorities if elected, focusing heavily on upholding the integrity of elections. A native of Beatrice, Dobson is a knowledgeable and conservative lawyer, currently a shareholder at Maynard Nexen, specializing in natural resources, commercial finance, and real estate law in Montgomery.

“In Alabama, I think no matter the party, there’s a shared commitment to building a better future for our children,” Dobson stated. “As a mother of two, I’ve talked with voters across different political affiliations. We all desire safer communities and increased opportunities here.”

Dobson expressed concerns about votes from non-citizens in Alabama, highlighting it as a significant issue that diminishes the voices of registered voters.

“As Secretary of State and chief election officer, my goal is to ensure that only legally registered Alabama residents participate in elections,” she explained. “Many don’t consider how the presence of non-citizens can overshadow the voices of Alabamians striving to improve our state.”

She also touched on the idea of creating teams to tackle election-related crimes and reduce voter fraud, referencing Florida’s model for such initiatives.

“While there’s a similar approach in Florida, we aim to establish a dedicated group of election experts within the Secretary of State’s office. This team would collaborate with law enforcement and prosecutors to thoroughly investigate and prosecute any violations of election laws,” Dobson said.

She emphasized that breaking election laws undermines the voices of legitimate Alabama voters.

Originating from a family farm in Monroe County, Dobson earned her bachelor’s degree from Harvard and graduated from Baylor Law School.

Dobson has joined forces with Alabama State Auditor Andrew Sorrell in the Republican primary for the Secretary of State position.
