In the 2018 midterm elections, 30 states had contested Attorneys
General elections, producing the largest class of new state AGs in
many years - 18 in all, including new AGs in states where they are
appointed rather than elected.
You will find below a table summarizing
all the changes. It's one of several charts that are included
in the Orrick Public Policy Group's report, "
The New State Attorneys General: Profiles and Priorities."
The report provides an overview of each new AG's background and
a summary of their potential priorities as their states' top
legal officers. In addition, the report forecasts increased state
AG activity in six major areas, from antitrust enforcement to
opioids, cybersecurity, healthcare, consumer finance, and suing (or
defending) the Trump Administration.
