Curtis Hill Jr.

About

Curtis Hill (R) is a lawyer who served as Indiana’s attorney general from 2017–21. In that role, he advocated for conservative legal measures, including defending civil forfeiture and backing a measure to require parental consent for minors prior to an abortion. In 2018 multiple women accused Hill of sexual harassment and misconduct, prompting calls for his resignation and a 30-day suspension of his legal license ordered by the Indiana Supreme Court. 

While in office, Hill was a member of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), a “cash-for-influence” operation that coordinates relationships between Republican attorneys general and corporate interests. RAGA members are closely linked to the Jan. 6 insurrection and GOP attempts to overturn the presidential election. Hill is also a former director of the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF), the 501(c)(4) arm of RAGA.

  • Hill was involved in both RAGA and RLDF, which funded robocalls in the weeks leading up to the insurrection encouraging Trump supporters to attend the March to Save America—the rally that fired up the crowd just before many of them stormed the Capitol.

The Big Lie

  • On Nov. 9, 2020, Hill and five other Republican attorneys general submitted an amicus brief with a lawsuit that challenged the validity of Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the case.
