Welcome to the inaugural episode of State AG Pulse. From now until August, we’re excited to bring you our insights and commentary on the 2022 state attorney general elections, and why they matter for business leaders. In this first episode, Pulse hosts Lori Kalani and Bernie Nash talk with Karen White, Executive Director of the Attorney General Alliance. They provide a quick “AGs101” tutorial and discuss just how powerful AGs really are. They also preview key issues in the eight open seat races and note which incumbents are at risk in their state races, including some surprises so far in the run up to and early primaries. The discussion also touches on how much it costs to run an election campaign, whether money matters, and the impact of national politics on state races. For all this and more, check out this week’s episode.
