OVER 75 SHERIFFS AND COMMONWEALTH’S ATTORNEYS ENDORSE JASON MIYARES FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
VIRGINIA BEACH -- The Miyares for Virginia campaign is proud to announce that over 75 Sheriffs and Commonwealth’s Attorneys from across the Commonwealth have endorsed Jason Miyares for Attorney General. The bipartisan list of law enforcement officials and prosecutors includes Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. They are supporting Jason in this November’s election because of his support for law enforcement, dedication to public safety, and promise to end the criminal first, victim last mentality in Richmond.
“I am proud to have the support and endorsement from so many Sheriffs and Commonwealth’s Attorneys. They all have seen firsthand how Mark Herring’s criminal first, victim last mentality has negatively impacted their communities, and are ready for a change. As a former prosecutor, I worked alongside the brave men and women in law enforcement and recognize they need the support of their elected officials to better serve their communities. I am appreciative of their support and look forward to working with them as Attorney General to make sure their communities are safe and secure.” said Jason Miyares.
This is in comparison to Mark Herring's 11 endorsements from Virginia Sheriffs. Three Sheriffs who endorsed Mark Herring in 2017 are publicly endorsing Jason Miyares four years later, and are marked with an asterisk.
In addition to these endorsements by individual Sheriffs and Commonwealth Attorneys, Jason Miyares is endorsed by the Virginia Police Benevolent Association (VPBA) and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). There is no doubt that Jason Miyares is the Attorney General Candidate that law enforcement officials trust to have their back.
