KAMALA HARRIS MAKES HISTORY
Former California AG and current U.S. Senator Kamala Harris made history – becoming the first Black, first South Asian-American, and first woman to be elected to the Office of Vice President. Former colleagues and DAGA Co-Chairs Massachusetts AG Maura Healey and Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum said, “Senator Harris’ election to Vice President is historic, breaking a 244-year-old glass ceiling. We could not be prouder of our former AG colleague and friend.” To commemorate the historic moment, DAGA released a short video featuring the Co-Chairs and DAGA staff.

AG Nessel told ABC News “We find these claims to be meritless. They are completely lacking in facts.” Read more about the work AG Nessel is doing to protect the results here.
• Nevada AG Aaron Ford is working day in and day out as former Republican AG Adam Laxalt and the Trump campaign sow doubt and distrust around the results in Nevada. “Those who are pursuing these tactics, I will call them what they are. They’re saboteurs,” said AG Ford. Read more about the work AG Ford is doing to protect people’s vote here.
• North Carolina AG Josh Stein is working with state leaders to protect North Carolinians right to vote. In North Carolina, votes can arrive until November 12^th as long as they are postmarked by election day. Watch AG Stein on ABC News here.
• Pennsylvania AG Josh Shapiro is tirelessly pursuing justice for every person who legally cast a ballot. AG Shapiro’s state has been the focus for the Trump campaign. In a tweet, AG Shapiro reassured Pennsylvanians and people across the country, “(NOT) BREAKING: The Trump campaign’s latest filing is another attempt to throw out legal votes — my team and I were already prepared for this. Sleep tight. We will protect the laws of our Commonwealth and the will of the people.” Watch AG Shapiro on 60 Minutes here.

BONUS: DAGA Co-Chairs Massachusetts AG Maura Healey and Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum called out Republican AGs for their attacks on democracy and people’s health care. “Whether it’s seeking to take health care away from millions of Americans or attempting to undermine democracy and a peaceful transition of power, it’s troubling and disappointing to see any state’s attorney general work to harm the very people whose rights they are sworn to protect.” Read their full statement here.
