TheRepublican Attorneys General Association(RAGA) is a United States national political advocacy group that focuses on electing Republicans as state attorneys general. Its Democratic counterpart is theDemocratic Attorneys General Association.
RAGA operated as an arm of theRepublican State Leadership Committee until 2014, when RAGA was split off.[1] In 2023, the largest donations came from theConcord Fund, with total donations from Concord since 2014 coming to $16.8 million.[2] Since 2020 the group has received about $5.8 million in donations from the oil and gas industry.[3]
RAGA operates The Rule of Law Defense Fund, which became the center of controversy following revelations that it had sponsored massrobocalls urging recipients to support PresidentDonald Trump's rally in front of the Capitol on January 6; the rally resulted in the2021 United States Capitol attack.[4] The robocall did not advocate for violence or storming the Capitol complex.[4]
Following the January 6 attack, donations to RAGA dropped significantly.[5] The executive director of RAGA resigned less than a week after the robocall and attack.[6] ChairmanChristopher M. Carr, Georgia's attorney general, resigned in April 2021 as a result of the split within the group over the January 6 attack.[7]
