Attorney General Jay Jones announced plans to appeal a recent decision by the Tazewell County Circuit Court in the case of Republican National Committee v. Koski. The statement was released following the court’s ruling, which is now subject to further review.
“My office will immediately appeal the ruling issued by the Tazewell County Circuit Court. These arguments are already before the Supreme Court of Virginia, the proper forum to consider the arguments, which has set a schedule for receiving arguments and has justifiably allowed the vote to proceed during this time,” Jones stated.
The Attorney General of Virginia provides legal counsel and representation to state agencies while promoting public safety and defending constitutional rights, as described on its official website. The office also supports civil rights enforcement and victim assistance programs, serves all residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and addresses issues such as human trafficking and domestic violence through legal advocacy. In addition, it offers consumer protection resources for identity theft and fraud reporting.
Miyares currently holds the position as the 48th Attorney General of Virginia according to information available on the official website.
