- Kansas: Chris Mann, a former police officer and prosecutor, has submitted filings to seek the Kansas Democratic Party’s nomination for AG. Mann, who is presently running unopposed in the Democratic primary, would compete against the winner of the Republican primary, which includes former U.S. attorney Tony Mattivi, former Secretary of State Kris Kobach, and State Senator Kellie Warren. Incumbent AG Derek Schmidt, a Republican, announced that he is running for Governor.
- Colorado: Texas attorney Stanley Thorne has filed paperwork to run as an independent in the Colorado AG race after an unsuccessful bid to appear on the Republican primary ballot.
