Democratic AGs currently hold 24 seats and represent the most diverse coalition of Democratic AGs in history.
Democratic AGs are among the most effective champions at keeping our communities safe, defending our rights, and holding bad actors accountable. From public safety and workers’ rights to climate action and election defense, Democratic AGs are front and center in the current political and policy landscape.
