KentuckyEdit
Attorney General Daniel Cameron was elected in 2019 with 57.7% of the vote.[11] He has opted to run for governor rather than seek a second term.[2]
LouisianaEdit
Attorney General Jeff Landry was re-elected in 2019 with 66.2% of the vote.[12] Because Louisiana does not have constitutional term limits for statewide offices besides the governor, Landry was eligible to run for a third term, but is instead running for governor.[5]
MississippiEdit
Attorney General Lynn Fitch was elected in 2019 with 57.83% of the vote, becoming the state's first Republican Attorney General since 1878.[13] Fitch is running for re-election.[14]
Democratic Attorney and Disability Rights Mississippi Litigation Director Greta Kemp Martin is running to challenge Fitch.[15]
