BACKGROUND: Without Democratic AGs, the country would look and feel very different four years into a Trump presidency. The panel will highlight the Dem AG victories taking on Trump and protecting the Obama-Biden legacy, including protecting DACA, stopping the citizenship question from appearing on the 2020 Census, the battle to protect health care, and countless other wins. The panel will also discuss Dem AG leadership on COVID-19 and healthcare, immigration, reproductive rights, education, and criminal justice reform.
The cliff notes version: Democrats know how to beat Trump in court and at the ballot box.
Together, Dem AGs have filed more than 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration attacks on the Obama-Biden legacy with an 80% success rate in court. They defended the DACA program at the U.S. Supreme Court, kept a discriminatory citizenship question off the 2020 Census, defeated Trump’s Muslim Ban (twice), and have taken more than 300 major actions to protect the environment and combat climate change. They are fighting to save the Affordable Care Act from GOP attacks, protecting reproductive rights, safeguarding worker protections, and standing up for our most vulnerable communities. For too long, Democratic AGs flew under-the-radar in the broader policy and political conversations happening at the state and national level. In 2016, with the relaunch of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, there was a sea change in attention paid to this critical office.
-
Today Democratic AGs are FRONT AND CENTER when it comes to our party and our current political and policy landscape.
-
Since 2016, Democrats AGs won in record numbers in states across the country. Democratic AGs won SEVEN battleground races including two states carried by Trump in 2016.
-
In 2018, Democratic AGs elected the most diverse coalition of state AGs in history.
-
Democratic AGs represent 25 states, a majority of the US population, and states responsible for a majority of GDP.
Last night was an exciting opening to what will prove to be the winning strategy for the November election. As I’ve said, no election in my lifetime has been more important, so please, join me in doing whatever you can do to get out the vote.
All the best,
Brian
