“We are hereby notifying you that the Arizona Attorney General’s Office had decided to withdraw its membership from NAAG,” Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in the letter.
“The Association is supposed to function as a nonpartisan forum but the speakers and topics presented at recent NAAG meetings indicate otherwise,” Brnovich added. “We believe NAAG must take immediate steps to remedy this partisan permeation.”
Arizona is not alone. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen also announced his state’s departure from the group.

The actions are leaving the NAAG hurting as it will lack the funding associated with the member states. The conservative attorneys general could form their own group that could pose a more conservative force for the nation.
