True to alabama

Caroleene Dobson is a wife, mother, attorney, and proud Monroe County, Alabama native. Born and raised in Beatrice, Dobson grew up on her family's fifth-generation cattle farm, where she learned the meaning of hard work and developed a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by working families and entrepreneurs.

A National Merit finalist and a U.S. Presidential Scholar, Dobson attended Harvard College, earning a degree in history and literature, and later graduated from Baylor Law School magna cum laude, where she served as articles editor of the Baylor Law Review and president of the Baylor Environmental and Natural Resource Law Society.

She currently lives in Montgomery with her husband Bobby and daughters Philippa and Lydia, where she is a shareholder at the Maynard Nexsen law firm, serves as a commissioner on the Alabama Forestry Commission and is a prior director of the Southeastern Livestock Exposition. With a legal career that has focused on commercial real estate, natural resource and energy law, Dobson has represented a diverse clientele, including homebuilders, retailers, small business owners, and private landowners.

A lifelong conservative, Dobson was the 2024 Republican nominee in Alabama’s Second Congressional District race, an experience that left her even more committed to serving the needs of her fellow Alabamians and making our already-great state even better.
