Jay Mitchell to run for Alabama attorney general
- Jay Mitchell, a former Alabama Supreme Court Justice, announced on June 2, 2025, that he is running for Alabama Attorney General.
- Last month, Mitchell stepped down from his position on the Alabama Supreme Court after authoring a 2024 ruling that deemed frozen embryos to be legally recognized as children under the state's wrongful death statute.
- The decision resulted from legal claims by several couples following the unintentional loss of their frozen embryos in a 2020 incident at a fertility clinic in Mobile, which led to a temporary suspension of IVF treatments due to concerns over potential legal responsibility.
- Mitchell emphasized that his priorities include reducing violent crime, backing law enforcement, upholding immigration regulations, protecting unborn children, and challenging radical left-wing policies if elected.
- Mitchell's campaign signals a conservative effort to win the open attorney general seat as incumbent Steve Marshall runs for U.S. Senate, with the primary scheduled for May 19, 2026.
