“These milestones would not have been reached without the right team exercising the powers and responsibilities of the Office of Attorney General. That means this hard-won progress is as fragile as the next election,” he wrote. “Our future progress as a Commonwealth requires an attorney general who is fiercely and fearlessly committed to promoting justice, equality and opportunity for all Virginians. For that reason, I plan to run for reelection

irginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D) announced plans last week to run for re-election in 2017. Going back to 1970, the past nine attorneys general have run for governor and talk among political leaders suggested Herring might do the same. But instead of entering that race in 2017, he’ll follow the path taken by just two of them in seeking a second four-year term. Democrats Andrew Pickens Miller (1970-1977) and Mary Sue Terry (1986-1993) were re-elected before making their gubernatorial bids. In a 600-word statement posted on Herring’s One Commonwealth site, the Loudoun County native said there is more work to be done in the attorney general office. “I love practicing law, I love public policy, and, most of all, I love helping people. This job asks me to do all three every single day,” he wrote. The letter runs down a list of accomplishments Herring called “historic progress made over the last 20 months.” His office led the effort to legalize samesex marriage in Virginia and make children of illegal immigrants eligible for in-state college tuition rates. The letter states that he “led
22 states in the fight to successfully defend affordable health care from yet another cynical, political attack at the Supreme Court.” It also highlights efforts made to curb the rampant use of heroin throughout the commonwealth, to keep dangerous criminals behind bars and to fight for lower electric bills and utility rates.
