In the AG race, Democrat Mark
Herring is trying to keep his job
as the state's attorney general.
His challengers Republican Jason Miller
is from Virginia Beach and here is a
breakdown of the race. The Attorney
general provides legal advice and
representation for Allstate agencies.
Democrat Mark Herring has held
the position since January 2014,
having been elected twice.
Republican Jason Mraz was elected
to represent Virginia Beach is 82nd
District House of Delegates seat in 2015,
the former assistant Commonwealth attorney
for the City of Virginia Beach would
be the first attorney general in 225
years to be the child of an immigrant.
According to Maoris's website
on his campaign website,
Maoris lists his top three issues.
To punish criminals and protect victims.
To recreate a pro business Virginia
and to stand with police Haring on his
campaign website lists his priorities
as promoting economic opportunity,
fighting for justice,
and equality for all Virginians,
and defending women's rights.
And in the most recent CNU Wason
Center poll Mark Herring has that one
point lead over opponent Jason Mraz.
Experts say the two have a stronghold
on their parties and that the
independent voters will decide this win.
So let's talk things over to
Mike Gooding and Doctor so.
Giacca malofie form Norfolk state
well and it is quite the issue
here in the election tomorrow.
So G is it not as to what in the world
the role of the attorney general is.
If you talked to Mark Herring?
He would say that the role of the Attorney
general is to be the state's lawyer.
Basically the Council,
the counselor in Chief.
But if you talk to Jason Jason Miller
is he would say it's to be the top cop.
Which guy is right?
Which guys wrong
actually to some extent
both of them are right.
I mean both duties belong to the AG.
The AG is the Commonwealth's top
lawyer and in some cases also could
actually art would act as the top cap.
But here's the thing,
there's no surprise here.
Because what both of them are doing is
that they're pandering to their basis.
OK, traditionalist speaking
Democrats have always looked at the
position of the G as the top lawyer.
On the other hand,
Republicans have always considered
that position to be one of
the Commonwealth's top cop.
No surprise
Mark Herring has been in the
job going on eight years now.
I'm thinking when he first got into
politics his life dream wasn't to simply
be the attorney General of Virginia.
He wants to be governor,
wouldn't you say that's also
true of Jason Morris young man.
He's probably not going to be
happy just being attorney general.
They're very few politicians,
especially in the Commonwealth.
If you're running for AG and you
don't have an aspiration for,
you know a higher office,
so I wouldn't put it past me Aris.
If he one day, well,
you know we see him run for, you know,
governor of the Commonwealth.
But let's go back to
mark her in for a second.
You have only one point
separating both of them.
There might be a little problem for hearing,
and I'd say why.
Because if you have been a G4 four I
mean for excuse me for eight years
there is so much to pick up on.
OK so for somebody for anybody
who's looking for something to
wrap around his political neck,
that's not a problem.
OK, on the other hand you might
have the same problem with mirrors.
OK, well this is is being.
I mean he's not totally new,
but this is the first time you
you're running as a delegate.
I mean, excuse me, you would delegate.
Now you'll run in as AG people.
We're looking at OK.
Is there a record that we can
look at here to let us know
what direction you are going?
You know?
Yes, we understand that the campaign
he wants to stand with the police,
and we know he's a opposite.
Mission on what is it called
now and abortion?
But that doesn't tell us much.
On the other hand,
with my caring we know where he's going
with the way it's coming from great.
So G thank you Janet David. Back to you.
