A prosecutor's record. A Virginian's heart.
Forty-eighth Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Jason S. Miyares served as the 48th Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia from 2022 to 2026, becoming the first Latino-American elected to statewide office in Virginia. As the Commonwealth's chief legal officer, he led the Office of the Attorney General and represented the interests of more than eight million Virginians.
During his tenure, Virginia recorded a 30% reduction in murders and a double-digit decline in overall violent crime, coinciding with the launch of Ceasefire Virginia, a focused public-safety strategy that brought together state and federal law enforcement to target repeat violent offenders and direct resources into the communities most affected by crime.
Miyares also made confronting the opioid and fentanyl crisis a central priority, taking office at a time when Virginia had suffered the most addiction deaths in the state's history. As Attorney General, he secured more than $1.2 billion in opioid settlements for prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts. Miyares spearheaded Virginia's One Pill Can Kill initiative to combat fentanyl trafficking and educate the public, helping drive a 46.7% reduction in fatal fentanyl overdoses statewide — the largest reduction in addiction deaths of any state in the nation.
He also established the Elder Abuse Investigation Center for Central Virginia to improve coordination among law enforcement and prosecutors in protecting vulnerable seniors. He fought to safeguard Virginians' constitutional rights, and stood with parents to ensure they decided what was in the best interests of their kids.
Miyares began his legal career as a prosecutor, serving as Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach. In 2015, he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, where he served three terms.
Miyares is a proud husband and father of three, and a passionate defender of the American Miracle — grounded in a belief that the rule of law is the foundation of both liberty and democratic governance, and committed to protecting it for future generations.
