Jason Miyares

Last updated

In May 2021, Miyares was nominated as the Republican candidate for Virginia Attorney General. He ran against Mark Herring, the incumbent Democratic attorney general, who sought a third term in the November 2021 general election. [16] [23] Miyares was selected at the Virginia Republican Party's "unassembled" convention, in which party delegates cast ranked-choice ballots at polling sites across the state. [23] Miyares defeated three other candidates: Leslie Haley, Chuck Smith, and Jack White. [23] In the final round, Miyares defeated Smith, a hard-right candidate, by a closer-than-expected margin of 52% to 48%. [24] [25]

During his campaign against Herring, Miyares emphasized crime issues. [16] He opposed proposals for the elimination of qualified immunity and declined to take a position on what he would do in the controversial police killing of Bijan Ghaisar. [16] In the November 2021 election, Miyares defeated Herring in a tight race, becoming the first Hispanic and Cuban American to be elected Attorney General of Virginia. [26] [27]

Tenure

Abortion

In January 2022, Miyares withdrew the Virginia AG Office's brief to the Supreme Court, submitted under his predecessor, supporting a challenge to Mississippi's abortion ban of restricting abortion to 15 weeks. [28]

On May 10, 2023, Miyares defended his decision to not join with 22 other Republican state attorneys general when they filed a lawsuit seeking to ban the abortion medication mifepristone, saying he supported the Food and Drug Administration's regulations. Miyares stated he believes in fostering compromise on abortion and supports a 15-week restriction on abortion with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. Miyares does not believe in prosecuting people for abortions with Yahoo! News writing that he has "sought to stake out a more moderate conservative position on the issue." [29]

COVID-19

In January 2022, Miyares issued an advisory opinion in which he concluded that Virginia's public colleges and universities lacked the power to require students to receive the COVID-19 vaccine before enrolling or taking in-person classes. Such advisory opinions are not binding, although at least two institutions (George Mason University and Virginia Tech) dropped their vaccine requirement after Miyares issued the opinion. [30] [31]

Elections

On February 10, 2022, Miyares' deputy attorney general for government operations and transactions resigned when it was reported that she had spread misinformation about the 2020 election and praised the 2021 United States Capitol attack; in her position, she would have overseen matters related to future elections in Virginia. Miyares himself has affirmed that Joe Biden was legitimately elected president and has condemned the attack on the United States Capitol. [32] [33]

On October 10, 2023, Miyares sent a cease-and-desist letter to a right-wing advocacy group over their misinformation pertaining to the 2023 Virginia elections. [34] Miyares stated, "Misinformation in our elections will not be tolerated in Virginia," and the group conformed to the letter. [34]

On December 29, 2023, Miyares won a case that involved "false and misleading" fliers from being distributed in Virginia elections. [35] Miyares said, "In Virginia, it should be easy to vote and hard to cheat. I’m proud of my Election Integrity Unit for taking action against voter misinformation and intimidation." [35] The fliers falsely attested that "if voters did not cast their ballots they could lose their Social Security income, Medicare eligibility, unemployment benefits, child tax credits, child custody rights, and concealed carry permits." [35]

Environment

On September 13, 2023, Miyares announced an $80 million settlement with Monsanto to ameliorate "the environmental contamination in the Commonwealth, which was caused by Monsanto's distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)." [36] According to the settlement, the "funds will be directed toward restitution and remediation efforts... environmental studies, stream restoration projects, improvements to drinking water and wastewater systems, fisheries management, and land remediation efforts." [36]

Gun violence

In 2022, Miyares started a targeted violence intervention initiative, Operation Ceasefire, to crack down on gun violence through "rigorous prosecution and community prevention" in 13 cities. The initiative was lauded after its first year with Democratic Speaker of the House of Delegates Don Scott allocating $22 million to help fund it for the next two years after overall crime dropped in 12 of the 13 cities and violent crime dropped in 9 of the 13 cities. There were 225 fewer crimes in 2023 than 2022 in the targeted cities with Norfolk seeing a third as many homicides. [37] [38]

Opioids

On April 16, 2024, Miyares announced a $108 million settlement from seven drug manufacturers and retailers for illegally pushing opioids. [39] Miyares praised his Consumer Protection team for negotiating the settlement with Virginia receiving over $1.1 billion in total opioid payouts under his team. [39] According to Miyares, the funds will be used to more "effectively prevent, reduce, and treat addiction at a localized level." [39]

Policing

On September 7, 2023, Miyares reached a settlement with the Town of Windsor, in Isle of Wight County, over its alleged "discriminatory, unconstitutional policing" conduct. [40] Per the settlement, Windsor will have to "submit to an independent third-party review system for use-of-force complaints and other complaints of serious misconduct alleged against any officer." [40] The town police department will also have to "obtain accreditation from the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission, raising the bar on its internal investigation processes and officer training." [40] Jonathan Arthur, the attorney for Caron Nazario, a Black United States Army lieutenant, whose interaction with the Windsor police department prompted the investigation into its alleged discriminatory behavior, praised the settlement in an interview with WVEC. [40] Miyares said that "excessive use of force and violations of constitutional liberties will not be tolerated in Virginia." [40]

Reentry services

On April 4, 2024, Miyares started a job fair program aimed at connecting "previously incarcerated individuals" to employers who had available job openings and were ready to hire former inmates. [41] Miyares said that his conversations with incarcerated individuals at state prisons spurred his push for expanding job fairs, "The number one thing I kept hearing from these gentlemen was, ‘I made some bad choices in my life, but I’m ready to turn my life around.’ The number one anxiety was, ‘Can I find work?" [41]

Retail theft

In 2022, Miyares was directed by the Virginia General Assembly to study retail theft. [42] A report commissioned by Miyares found that $1.3 billion of retail goods were being stolen annually in Virginia, resulting in $80 million less in state sales tax revenue per annum. [42] The report led to Virginia passing a law in 2023 to raise the penalties for organized retail theft, defined as "steal[ing] retail merchandise with a value exceeding $5,000 in a 90-day period, with the intent to sell the stolen goods for profit", from a misdemeanor to a felony. [42]

Staffing

Upon taking office in January 2022, Miyares fired 17 attorneys, and 13 other employees, in the Virginia AG's Office and the counsels for George Mason University (GMU) and the University of Virginia. [43] [44] [45] [46] After the firings, Miyares hired former Commonwealth's Attorney for Arlington County and Falls Church City Theo Stamos, a moderate Democrat, to lead the conviction integrity unit. [47] [48]

Tolls

In January 2024, Loudoun County Supervisor Matt Letourneau and Miyares wrote to the State Corporation Commission on their opposition to increased tolls on State Route 267 (the Dulles Toll Road and Dulles Greenway in Loudoun and Fairfax counties). [49] The proposal would increase tolls from $5.25 to $6.40 (22%) for one way trips during regular hours and $5.80 to $8.10 (40%) for one way trips during peak hours with Miyares calling the proposed hikes an "unreasonable financial burden" for commuters. [49]
