On the Issues
Virginians’ civil and constitutional rights are under threat like never before. As Attorney General, I will fight every day to defend them.
I’ve helped lead the charge to protect the fundamental freedom to vote in Virginia, working with the Virginia NAACP to sue Governor Glenn Youngkin when he attacked voting rights. As Attorney General, I’ll create a Voter Protection Unit within the office to stop illegal attempts to infringe on voting rights, crack down on voter intimidation, the improper restriction of access to polling places, or illegal voter roll purges, and maintain a Voting Rights Hotline.
I’ll make protecting civil rights a true priority for the Attorney General’s Office. I’ll create a Civil Rights Division within the office that will no longer be an afterthought, and is empowered to take aggressive action on behalf of Virginians’ basic rights. This unit will ensure that no Virginian is discriminated against, and that no entity – including the federal government – is able to take away their constitutional rights and liberties.
