Katherine Robertson appoints new campaign manager

Republican attorney general nominee Katherine Robertson announced Tuesday that veteran political strategist Katelanne Fadalla of Mobile will serve as her campaign manager for the general election.

Fadalla replaces Annabel Martinson, who ran Robertson’s successful primary and runoff campaigns and has accepted a position with Huntsville Hospital.

“Katelanne is a seasoned campaign veteran who assembled our statewide grassroots network during the Republican primary and runoff, and she has the proven skills and experience to help lead us to victory in November,” Robertson said. “All of us appreciate Annabel’s hard work and dedication over the past year, and we wish her the best as she accepts the long-term career opportunity that has been presented to her.”

Fadalla brings more than a decade of experience in campaign management, grassroots organizing, voter outreach and community engagement to the role.

She previously served as political director for the campaigns of former Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson, Mobile Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis and Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch. She also managed field operations, voter contact and absentee ballot programs across south Alabama and the Gulf Coast region for several statewide candidates, including United States Senator Katie Britt’s successful 2022 campaign.

Fadalla also served as a special assistant to Stimpson, leading strategic initiatives, coalition building and community development projects for the city of Mobile.

She currently serves on the board of trustees for St. Paul’s Episcopal School, the board of directors for Prichard Preparatory School and the board of commissioners for the Mobile Housing Authority.

Fadalla and her husband, Tony, live in Mobile, where they are raising their family and remain involved in civic and charitable initiatives, according to Robertson’s campaign.
