  • Post-Election Attorneys General November 7, 2018 TBD** 2020
    November 7, 2018 State Attorneys General Post-Election Report 2018 The Top Line Results New Attorneys General 18 new attorneys general will take office in January as a result of this election cycle, including • 10 Democrats elected (Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin) • 3 Republicans elected (Florida, Ohio, and South Dakota) • 4 attorneys general yet to be appointed (Wyoming, Alaska, Hawaii, Maine) • 1 attorney general to be appointed to fill a vacancy (Missouri) Turnovers There were four states that turned over party control. All turnovers were Republican to Democrat: Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. In all of these races, the governorship went to the Democratic candidate as well. Partisan Split Party control among attorneys general is expected to be split among 27 Democratic and 24 Republican attorneys general, assuming that the three governor-appointed attorneys general will follow the governor’s party (Alaska, Wyoming, and Hawaii) and that Maine will be Democratic based on the composition of the state legislature. Before the election, the partisan split was 28 Republicans, 22 Democrats, and one Independent. Incumbency All incumbents seeking reelection won another term, except for one. Republican Brad Schimel (WI) lost his bid for reelection. Attorneys General Running for Higher Office 9 incumbent attorneys general sought higher office, with only three (Maine, Missouri, and Ohio) succeeding in that effort. Cynthia Coffman (R-CO) lost her party’s nomination for governor; Janet Mills (D-ME) won the governorship; Lori Swanson (D-CO) lost her party’s nomination for governor; Josh Hawley (R-MO) won a seat in the US Senate; Adam Paul Laxalt (R-NV) lost his race for governor; Mike DeWine (R-OH) won his race for governor; Bill Schutte (R-MI) lost his race for governor; Marty Jackley (R-SD) lost his party’s nomination for governor; and Patrick Morrissey (R-WV) lost a race for a Senate seat and will thus remain as attorney general.

    5 March 2019 Josh Kaul, Attorney General Wisconsin Department of Justice PO Box 7857 Madison, Wisconsin 53707 Dear Attorney General Kaul, On behalf of the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) of Dane County’s Board of Directors, we urge you to continue the Wisconsin Elder Abuse Task Force’s efforts in combating elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In April 2017, former Attorney General Brad Schimel gathered over 60 stakeholders across Wisconsin to discuss growing concerns related to elder abuse of Wisconsin residents. In August 2017, the Elder Abuse Task Force convened. Task Force membership includes representatives from DOJ, DHS, DFI, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, Wisconsin State Legislature, law enforcement, Wisconsin Court System, Board on Aging and Long Term Care, Wisconsin Bankers Association, crime victim services, adult protective services, senior living facilities, and senior adult advocacy organizations. Task Force objectives included compiling experience, expertise, and resources from all members to better understand the impact of Elder Abuse in Wisconsin and how to improve outcomes for this growing population while strengthening consumer protections. In October 2018, former Attorney General Brad Schimel, along with Elder Abuse Task Force members, presented five proposals to former Governor Scott Walker and other policy makers. These proposals included: 1. Blocking suspicious financial transactions to stop elder exploitation 2. Use of Elder Abuse Supplemental Incident Reports for Law Enforcement 3. Enhanced protections for the elders through criminal law reforms 4. Expedited hearings and testimony preservation 5. Specialized Elder Abuse Response Team at DOJ 2865 N Sherman Ave, Madison, WI 53704 PH (608) 261-9930 FAX (608) 283-2995 TTY: Call WI Relay 711 https://aaa.dcdhs.com [email protected] The Elder Abuse Task force also assisted DOJ to develop a public awareness campaign which included radio advertisements, website information, a training video for bank tellers, and the Safe Seniors camera program.

  • 2018 U.S. State Elections Results the Significance of the 2018 Midterm Elections
    2018 U.S. State Elections Results The Significance of the 2018 Midterm Elections The 2018 midterm elections were significant due to the volume of statewide races across the country with potential policy and political impact. As anticipated, there were significant victories for the Democratic candidates for Governor. Democrats flipped seven governor seats from Republican control, bringing the total up to 23 Democrat and 26 Republican governors. This is a big win for Democrats, especially considering no single party has netted more than 6 governorships since 1994. At the Attorney General level, Senator Aaron Ford flipped the Nevada Attorney General office from Republican to Democrat. There also may be potential flips for the Democrats in Colorado and Michigan, but those races have not yet been called. Other notable results include Tish James, who will become the first African American elected statewide in New York, Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, who will also be the first African American elected to the position in Minnesota, and William Tong, who will be the first Asian American Attorney General in Connecticut. Once all the races are called, the Democrats are poised to take over the majority of the Attorney General seats across the country. McGuireWoods Consulting | 2 On the legislative level, Democrats made some inroads picking up new trifectas in Colorado, Illinois, Maine, New Mexico and New York. Trifectas, which are valuable heading into redistricting after the next Census, signify that one party has control of both legislative chambers and the Governor’s mansion. There are now 12 Democratic trifectas, up from seven, heading into next year.
