Former attorneys general
Voters have a right to cast their ballot without undue interference and people have a right to engage in political speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in overturning Roe v. Wade, made clear that there is no right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution, and that states have the right to decide abortion policy.
These clemency requests are an outrage to the victims of these killers and all Kansans.
Granting clemency to multiple death row inmates — particularly in the final weeks of a gubernatorial term and based on personal opposition to the death penalty — would substitute one person’s policy preference for the considered judgment…
That is not what government is for, and it diminishes public trust in our institutions.
It is deeply troubling to see official powers and public resources diverted away from serving the people and instead aimed at pursuing political adversaries.
The allegations in the House Republican report are unfounded, and Vice President Vance's referral is a political stunt from an administration that uses the machinery of government to target its perceived opponents while extending leniency…
This ruling makes clear that the federal government cannot impose unlawful financial barriers that make it harder to recruit the teachers, doctors, researchers, nurses, and other essential workers Marylanders rely on every day.
I'll keep fighting to protect them and our immigrant communities.
We won our case against the Trump administration for trying to destroy the H-1B visa program.
Today's victory protects the integrity of the H-1B visa program as a tool to address severe labor shortages in vital industries like education, healthcare, and medical research.
I will continue standing up to Trump, and will protect our democracy and Coloradans’ rights, including abortion access.
I will protect our marginalized and vulnerable communities – as I have done as district attorney.
I support using the full authority of the office to challenge illegal federal actions, whether they undermine voting rights, birthright citizenship, consumer protections, or public safety.
Without a doubt, human trafficking is modern day slavery.
This illegal tax threatened our rural school districts, our growing semiconductor industry, and Arizona’s entire economy.
We must pass a stronger assault weapons ban to reign in these weapons that have been used for mass murder in our state and across the nation.
We’ve seen the bedrock principles of our democracy and the rule of law pushed to the brink. Trump abuses our legal system and undermines the Constitution.
I am running for attorney general to stand up to Trump and MAGA extremists to protect our democracy and fundamental rights.
To ignore or try to pretend that Callais was not issued would not really be a good faith argument on behalf of the people of the state of Washington.
It’s a horrible decision. It undermines the voting power of black and brown communities all across this country, including in Washington state. It really flies in the face of 40 years of precedent.
When we have a substantial change in the underlying case law that the original decisions were based on we think it’s important that the court follow the current standard and the current precedent.
We are never backing down. November, here we come.
