Thank you for your support in Tuesday’s primary election. I’m proud to be your nominee for re-election as Attorney General and I’m looking forward to the campaign ahead. As we begin, I want to take a moment to speak directly with you as a friend and supporter. 

At the AG’s Office, we work every single day to stand up for you and for the Commonwealth in the face of unfairness. We listen to what the people of this state are asking for from us, and I want to share with you how we respond. 

You want your children and your family to be safe – online, at school and in your neighborhood – and we take action to challenge online sites like Craigslist, confront bullying and cyber-bulling, and provide summer jobs for teens.

You are fed up with fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars – and we go squarely after corruption, prosecuting unemployment fraud, and recovering more than $100 million in our Medicaid system.  For every $1 in budget funding my office receives, we return $5 back to taxpayers and consumers.

You want someone to stand up for the middle class during this economic crisis.  We’ve recovered over $440 million from big banks and Wall Street for consumers, keeping 15,000 people in their homes, and we are challenging unfair rate hikes by big gas and electric companies. 

And, you want your government to stand for fairness – and we successfully challenged the Defense of Marriage Act, standing up for the civil rights of all.

It is a real privilege and a serious responsibility to serve as the Attorney General and to represent you, and the campaign I’m running will reflect that.  I hope you’ll join me this fall to discuss where we’ve come, what’s important to you, and how we can take on even more in the next four years.

With Best Wishes,
