Mission

The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) is the only national organization whose mission is electing Republicans to the Office of Attorney General. The RAGA concentrates on recruiting outstanding candidates, providing them with research and financial support, as well as, assisting in message development. In doing so, the RAGA is improving the talent base from which many future Governors and U.S. Senators will be drawn.

 

A Track Record of Success

Since its founding in 2000, the impact of the RAGA has been significant as the number of Republican Attorneys General has increased in five of the past eight elections, growing from fourteen to nineteen nationwide.

In its first election year, the RAGA made its mark on American politics by emerging as the only Republican organization to gain seats during the hard-fought 2000 elections. The RAGA has worked to build on this momentum in the election years to follow:

  • In 2001, the RAGA defended the incumbent attorney general seat in Virginia, overcoming a Democrat victory in the Governors contest.
  • In 2002, the organization was successful in picking up six new seats, while retaining nine incumbent offices.
  • In 2004, the RAGA helped re-elect three incumbent attorneys general, retain an open Republican office and successfully pick up an open Democrat attorney general seat.
  • In 2005, the RAGA was once again successful in overcoming a Democrat gubernatorial victory while retaining the attorney general office in Virginia.
  • In 2006, the RAGA successfully picked up the open Democrat attorney general seat in Wisconsin. The RAGA is one of two National Republican organizations to pick up a seat in 2006.
  • In 2008, the RAGA helped in the successful re-elections of Republican Attorneys General in Pennsylvania, Utah and Washington while defending the open Republican seat in Indiana.
