HB Strategies Analyzes State Attorneys General Races in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Colorado
AG Power Play: The Contenders, profiles the incumbents and candidates of the 30 state attorneys general races in the 2025-2026 election cycle
HB Strategies CEO Andy Blunt kicked off the series on Monday with an introductory report that examined a 35-year trend line in State Attorney General action and setting the framework for the 50 State team’s forecasting the political future of the 30 office holders.
Andy noted today, “The ongoing constitutional tug-of-war between the Judicial and Executive branches is just beginning to unfold. With a single AG now able to transform public policy, analyzing the political future of State Attorneys General races in 2025-2026 is essential for organizations navigating this emerging regulatory landscape.”
The HB Strategies 50 State team will profile five contenders in six editions with each report examining the past and present political dynamics of each race; identifying whether the incumbent will run, is term-limited, or eying the Governor’s mansion; and the latest information on any challengers.
Andy summarized the first five races, “The first five states demonstrate that term limits, ambition, and shifting political alignments make Attorneys General contests pivotal to policy outcomes. In Alabama, term-limited AG Steve Marshall (R) leaves an open seat drawing significant Republican interest, with several high-profile candidates positioning themselves for what will likely be a decisive GOP primary. Arizona’s political battleground status shows in AG Kris Mayes’ (D) razor-thin 280-vote victory margin in 2022, creating one of 2026’s most competitive races. Arkansas AG Tim Griffin (R) faces minimal opposition in the solidly Republican state. California’s AG Rob Bonta (D) recently committed to seeking reelection rather than pursuing the open governor’s seat. In Colorado, AG Phil Weiser’s (D) gubernatorial run creates an open contest in an increasingly Democratic-leaning state. The dynamics of these five, and all 30 State Attorneys General races, could alter the balance of power and transform public policy across the United States.”
