Jack, we often think about midterm elections as big national events. In truth, they’re run by the states.
Along with your governor and secretary of state, your attorney general is in charge of making sure elections are free, fair, and secure. Together, they set the rules, run the elections, supervise the counting of ballots, certify the results, and protect those results.
With so much at stake, we need attorneys general that are committed to defending the will of the voters, no matter the political outcome. That’s why Daily Kos has endorsed a slate of Democrats running for attorney general in five key swing states—candidates who will vigorously oppose Republican efforts to roll back our rights and undermine our democracy. Chip in $10, or more, to secure our elections.

By their own admission, Trump Republicans are running for office with the intention of overturning future elections when they don't like the outcome. We saw their playbook when they tried to overthrow the 2020 presidential results—they pursued unsubstantiated lawsuits seeking to invalidate other states’ official election results; refused to defend their state’s pro-democracy voting laws and procedures from legal challenges; and didn't work in good faith with other state constitutional officers to approve election guidance materials.
In contrast, our slate of candidates would be positioned to defend official election results and pro-democracy voting procedures from legal challenges; defend the privacy of voters’ personal information from disclosure in election investigations; defend voters from intimidation and suppressive conduct; investigate and prosecute illegal attempts to suppress the vote; and issue robust guidance to local law enforcement detailing their role in safeguarding free, fair, and secure elections.
Republicans know that principled attorneys general stand in the way of their authoritarian fever dreams, which is why they want to defeat every Democrat on our slate so badly. The good news, though, is that grassroots power is greatly magnified in races like these, which have budgets just a fraction of those for Senate campaigns. Your donation of any size will go a long way toward protecting our democracy.
Stop the GOP’s plan to steal elections by giving $10, $100, or whatever you’re able to give to Daily Kos’ slate of Democrats running for attorney general!
