State AG Races to Watch in 2026 and Why You Should Care
February 4, 2026 | Maggie Mick
More than 30 state attorneys general races in 2026 will be decided in the attorney general elections November 2026, with several battleground states and open seats drawing national attention. State AG candidates in key states like Arizona, Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas are expected to face competitive primaries and general elections, shaping legal leadership and policy agendas. State attorneys general policy influence continues to grow, as AGs play a central role in litigation, regulatory enforcement, and national policy debates. Democratic and Republican attorneys general associations, along with bipartisan groups, provide platforms for collaboration, advocacy, and campaign support, amplifying the impact of these offices.
