Senator Bill Carrico, Former State Senator and Virginia State Trooper said, “Now more than ever, we need leaders who stand with law enforcement. Jason Miyares is a former prosecutor and gets it; as a Senator who served with Delegate Miyares while I was in the General Assembly, I know he will always stand with police, not defund them, and give them the tools to do their job. As a former State Trooper and father of a State Trooper, I know Jason Miyares will make an outstanding Attorney General and I’m proud to stand with him.”
Jason Miyares said “I proudly stand with Law Enforcement. I am honored to have the backing of so many in Blue. We must enforce the laws on the books and give law enforcement the tools to do so. It seems like we have an Attorney General who puts the needs to criminals before Law Enforcement. As your next Attorney General, I will make sure we put Law Enforcement first, the way it ought to be."
