Ford appointed to leadership position in national Democratic attorneys general group
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is being named co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association.
Ford will serve alongside DAGA's current co-chair, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, in the group dedicated to supporting Democratic Party candidates in attorney general races across the nation. The group helps fund Democratic candidates and also runs independent ads, including in Ford's narrow 2018 victory over Republican challenger Wes Duncan.
"We are the party committed to voting rights, ensuring equal access to the ballot box, and combatting efforts to delegitimize our democratic institutions," Ford said in a statement. "In the years ahead, we will support and elect strong Democratic leaders to Attorneys General offices nationwide who share these values, protect their most vulnerable constituents, and fight for the people."
Ford was previously named to the group's executive committee after his 2018 election. Nationwide, Democrats control 25 state attorney general offices.
