There has been a lot of focus on the major Republican victories in state legislatures. Most people haven't focused as much on some of the other statewide races across the country. Well, according to preliminary results, it appears that we have won some Attorney General and Secretary of State offices in several key states. It is important to note that these offices are vital to our efforts to augment our farm team of future candidates in some key states. Many Gubernatorial and Senatorial candidates in recent years have been AG's or SOS's. Here is a brief synopsis of the Republican victories in these key races:

Secretaries of State

We have previously expressed the importance of this office due to the election fraud laws that are being passed by Democrats across the country. It appears that we have picked up 6 of these offices, some of them in key swing states. There will be new Republican Secretaries of State in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas (Kris Kobach), Iowa, New Mexico, and the all important state of Ohio. In New Mexico, there hasn't been a Republican SOS since 1928! Also, in Oklahoma, the Governor picks the Sec. of State. Currently, a Democrat occupies that office, but that will change with the inauguration of Mary Fallin. In January, Republicans will control 26 Sec. of State offices, while Democrats will control 20.

Attorneys General

These positions have growing importance due to the coming state's rights clashes in the realm of issues such as immigration, health care, and environmental regulations. Our election primer on the AG races is here. We could have done a little better on the AG front, but it appears that we have picked up at least 5 offices. We have added Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, and Oklahoma to the list of state AG's that we control. The Democrats still control 27 of these offices.
