Sean Reyes, who was appointed to the office following John Swallow's resignation should win another term in the office, but there are some real risks for the Republican.
A recent UtahPolicy.com poll found Reyes has a 53% approval rating, but more than 1/4 of Utahns have no opinion about the job he's doing. That could suggest Reyes could be vulnerable.
Charles Stormont, the Democratic challenger in this race, is launching a media campaign on TV and radio – something the past few Democratic candidates for Attorney General were unable to do. How much of an effect this has remains to be seen.

Our rating scale:
- "Safe" seats mean there is no challenger from the opposing party.
- "Solid" means the seat is likely to remain in that party's control.
- "Lean" means the party should keep control of the seat, but it's in some doubt because of a retirement or strong challenger.
- "Toss-up" means control of the seat is in doubt.

Attorney General | Lean Republican | Republican Sean Reyes should win the race to complete John Swallow's term, but it remains to be seen whether the Swallow scandal will affect his chances. |
