2022 United States attorney general elections explained

The 2022 United States attorney general elections were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the attorneys general in thirty states, two territories, and one federal district. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018. The attorney general of Vermont serves two-year terms and was last elected in 2020.^[1]

Seven states do not popularly elect an attorney general. These elections took place concurrently with several other federal, state, and local elections. Democrats had a net gain of one seat in these elections, flipping Arizona and Vermont, while Republicans flipped Iowa.

Partisan composition before the election

Going into the election, there were 23 Republican attorneys general and 20 Democratic attorneys general. This class of attorneys general was made of 15 Democrats and 15 Republicans.

Republicans defended three states won by Joe Biden in 2020 (Georgia, Arizona, and Vermont), while Democrats defended one state won by Donald Trump (Iowa). Additionally, Democrats held attorney general offices in three states with Republican governors. By contrast, Republicans held attorney general offices in one state with a Democratic governor.

Election predictions

Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors used:

• "tossup": no advantage
• "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
• "lean": slight advantage
• "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
• "safe": near-certain chance of victory
