Democratic Attorneys General Association

What Democratic Attorneys General Association does

The Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) is a 527 political committee founded in 2002 and headquartered in Washington, DC. It is the only committee exclusively dedicated to electing and supporting Democratic state Attorneys General, having relocated from Denver, CO in 2016 and expanded into a full-time professional operation covering campaigns, recruiting, data analysis, communications, policy, politics, and fundraising. DAGA identifies, recruits, endorses, and provides campaign support to Democratic AG candidates, with a documented 16-of-29 win rate in competitive races against the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) since 2016. The organization backs the most diverse AG coalition in history: 23 sitting Democratic AGs spanning nine women, six Black, two Asian-American, two Latino, two LGBTQ+, and one Muslim AG.

DAGA's offering is not a technology product but rather a portfolio of political services: candidate endorsements, campaign coordination, fundraising assistance, policy alignment (reproductive rights, voting rights, consumer/healthcare/worker protections, climate), and communications amplification for Democratic AGs and candidates. Revenue is generated exclusively through political donations from individual supporters, processed via the ActBlue platform, with FEC reporting required for contributions above $200 per election cycle. The organization operates nationally across all U.S. states, with formal contact channels for press, employment, and campaign inquiries, and an active donor-acquisition funnel built around its website, email list, SMS opt-ins, social media, press releases, multi-AG town halls, and multimedia content (including the "In Defense of the Vote" documentary).

The organization has no products, patents, APIs, or technology integrations beyond standard political-tech vendors (ActBlue, NGP VAN). Its go-to-market is sales-led in the political-organizing sense: identifying competitive AG races, recruiting candidates, and channeling resources to win them. Its governance is led by President Sean Rankin, with former Co-Chair Aaron Ford (Nevada AG, 2021–2024) recently completing his term. Recent activity signals an expanding 2026 footprint, with new endorsements in Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan and an accumulated 50+ lawsuits by Democratic AGs against the Trump administration that DAGA's infrastructure supports.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Democratic Governors Association (DGA): A 527 committee within the same Democratic political-committee ecosystem, focused on gubernatorial races. Comparable in fundraising model, FEC compliance posture, and ActBlue integration, but serving a different elected office.
• Association of Democratic Party Chairs (ASDC / DNC-affiliated state-party ecosystem): Ecosystem of Democratic state party committees analogous in mission (electing Democrats to state office) and infrastructure (FEC filings, ActBlue integrations, donor-management stacks).
• Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC): The Democratic 527 focused on state legislative races. Operates with the same fundraising-through-ActBlue model and similar horizontal-organization structure, making it a structural peer even though the office (state legislator) differs from AG.

Regional players

• State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO): While not a political peer, comparable as a membership-based association of state officials; illustrative of the association-service model DAGA uses to coordinate its 23 Democratic AGs.

Direct peers

• Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA): Direct ideological mirror of DAGA. RAGA is the sole committee dedicated to electing and supporting Republican state Attorneys General and is the explicit counterpart DAGA competes against in the 16-of-29 race metric.

Emerging players

• National Democratic Redistricting Committee: A Democratic-aligned 527 focused on redistricting and state-level legal/political issues; an adjacent organization in the civil-rights and state-level legal advocacy space DAGA also operates in.
