In November 2023, Campbell issued an opinion that State Auditor [[Diana DiZoglio]] lacked authority to [[audit]] the operations of the [[Massachusetts General Court]] (state legislature). DiZoglio had been attempting to undertake such an audit, but had faced strong opposition from state legislative leaders.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Norton |first1=Michael |title=Attorney General Campbell says DiZoglio doesn't have authority to audit Legislature |url=https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/11/03/attorney-general-campbell-dizoglio-audit-legislature |website=WBUR |access-date=4 April 2024 |language=en |date=3 November 2023}}</ref>
 
In December 2023, Campbell launched civil rights litigation against the National Socialist Club 131, a regional [[neo-Nazi]] organization. This made her the second states attorney to sue the organization, as New Hampshire Attorney Genreal [[John Formella]] had earlier that year filed a civil rights lawsuit against the group.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Katcher |first1=Will |title=Andrea Campbell is 2nd AG to target neo-Nazi group.
