Cuccinelli announces goals, transition team
On Thursday, Attorney General-elect Ken Cuccinelli announced his goals for his transition to taking office as the attorney general of Virginia on Jan. 16, 2010.
The attorney general-elect also announced the leadership team to help coordinate the transition.
“I am honored to have been elected attorney general by the people of Virginia. My goal as AG will be to serve all the people of the Commonwealth. I talked with Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell and the current attorney general, Bill Mims, and both have graciously offered to help make this a smooth transition,” said Cuccinelli.
“The Office of Attorney General deals with issues as far ranging as criminal appeals, Medicaid fraud and constitutional issues. Its attorneys and staff also handle consumer issues and provide legal advice to state agencies. I will be working to make sure I fully understand what issues are currently pending before the office and am prepared to continue the fine work of the Attorney General’s Office,” Cuccinelli said.
“It has been said before that the Attorney General’s Office is the best law firm in Virginia, and I agree. I look forward to the task of serving the people of Virginia by leading that firm,” Cuccinelli said.
