Who Runs Your State

Your governor, AG, and state court control more of your daily life than Congress. States passed 29,000 laws in 2025 while Congress passed 230. Governors decide Medicaid, vouchers, and abortion policy. AGs file the lawsuits that block federal overreach. This series follows the power that actually shapes your day.
