Virginia AG Herring announces reelection bid for 2021

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring is seeking a third straight term to his position in 2021.

Herring released a letter and video Wednesday morning of his intentions, describing his work during the time spent as the state’s top lawyer, which included support of same sex marriage, defense of the Affordable Care Act, and an investigation into racial bias at a Virginia school system, among other initiatives.

Herring also added this message to Virginians to kick off his reelection campaign

““Together we’ll work to keep you and your communities safe, fighting policies that fuel racism, hate, and violence because we believe in justice for all Virginians,” said Herring.

Herring has served as AG since 2014, and will face Democrat Jay Jones of Norfolk in next year’s primary race.
