Английская Википедия:2023 United States attorney general elections
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox election The 2023 United States attorney general elections were held on November 7, 2023, in the states of Kentucky and Mississippi, with an election held in Louisiana on November 18, to elect the attorneys general of three U.S. states. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2019.[1]
These elections took place concurrently with several other state and local elections.
Election predictions
Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating a party's predicted advantage in winning that seat.
Most election predictors use:
- "tossup": no advantage
- "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
- "lean": slight advantage
- "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
- "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Kentucky
Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:Main Attorney General Daniel Cameron was elected in 2019 with 57.7% of the vote.[5] He opted to run for governor rather than seek a second term.[3] Former U.S. Attorney Russell Coleman became the Republican nominee, running unopposed in the primary; state representative Pamela Stevenson was also nominated by the Democratic Party unopposed.
Louisiana
Шаблон:Main Attorney General Jeff Landry was re-elected in 2019 with 66.2% of the vote.[6] Because Louisiana does not have constitutional term limits for statewide offices besides the governor, Landry was eligible to run for a third term, but instead successfully ran for governor.[4]
Mississippi
Шаблон:Main Attorney General Lynn Fitch was elected in 2019 with 57.83% of the vote, becoming the state's first Republican Attorney General since 1878.[7] Fitch ran for re-election.[8]
Democratic Attorney and Disability Rights Mississippi Litigation Director Greta Kemp Martin ran to challenge Fitch.[9]
