Issue Position: Getting it Right

Issue Position

As both a lawyer and a legislator, Mark Obenshain understands the importance of the Attorney General's role in protecting Virginians and defending their liberties. The Attorney General is the Commonwealth's lawyer, called upon to advise the Governor, the General Assembly, state agencies, and others on the legality of policies and the interpretation of laws and regulations, and to represent the Commonwealth and its agencies in legal proceedings. The Attorney General is also called upon to assist localities in criminal investigations and prosecutions and defend Virginia law when it is challenged, and to enforce consumer protection laws and represent utility consumers before the State Corporation Commission.

It's a job, therefore, with no room for on-the-job training. An accomplished legislator and acclaimed litigator with extensive experience in constitutional issues, Mark Obenshain has the experience and qualifications to get it right.
