Trump campaign chairman pans Republican AGs group with Alabama ties

Longtime GOP political consultant and chairman for President-elect Donald Trump’s successful 2024 election campaign committee, Chris LaCivita, recently called the Republican Attorney Generals Association (RAGA) a “joke” organization with incompetent leadership.

“If you are a GOP donor – or even an elected Republican Attorney General – you should know that politically speaking , @RepublicanAGs – the group you fund is a joke,” LaCivita posted last week. “They have been using a search firm that knows nothing of politics – for a new ED. You don’t need a bureaucrat – you need a warrior and a campaign pro – take control or your numbers will shrink and America needs more GOP AGs!”

RAGA was founded in 1999 as a subsidiary of the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) but organized independently in 2014 under the same mission of shaping policy and upholding conservative legal principles. Since that time, two Alabama AGs have served as chairman of the group. Former Attorney General Luther Strange served as chair from 2016-2017 and current Attorney General Steve Marshall from 2022-2023.
