Alabama
After unseating incumbent Attorney General Troy King (R) in the primary, GOP nominee Luther Strange defeated former State Ethics Committee Chair James Anderson. Strange drew endorsements from Republican officials such as Mitt Romney and Ken Cuccinelli to win 59%- 41%.

Alaska
Attorney General Daniel Sullivan (R) was appointed in June of 2009 by former Governor Sarah Palin (R). Last night Palin’s successor Governor Sean Parnell (R) defeated Democratic nominee Ethan Berkowitz (D) – ensuring Republicans will retain this appointed office.

California
As of 2:00am Pacific time with just over 93% reporting Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley and San Francisco district attorney Kamala Harris (D) are separated by less than 30,000 votes (source: CA Sec of State website). This races remains too close to call.
