West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey hosted the RAGA Summer National Meeting, which included speeches by West Virginia Governor Jim Justice and former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Republicans, who currently hold 24 seats, showcased their candidates for the 2019 election where they hope to regain the majority by picking up the two contested seats this year, in Mississippi and Kentucky. Current Democratic Attorneys General Jim Hood and Andy Beshear have relinquished their seats to run for governor of those states.
The hallway discussions focused on the perceived irony of Democratic Attorneys General now prosecuting cases against Silicon Valley technology companies as well as the opioid litigation being brought by Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter.
