I am not a lawyer. I am a systems engineer. That is a feature, not a bug. The AG leads an office of experienced prosecutors and litigators. The elected AG’s job is strategic leadership, setting priorities, independent judgment, and fixing systemic failures. I have done that for three decades in high-stakes government and investigative work, leading expert teams on defense, census, encryption, and classified DoD security projects. I diagnose root causes and deliver results. Vermont needs that approach for its interconnected problems.

‘You deserve a safe Vermont.’ The law must be enforced fairly and impartially. When there is evidence of wrongdoing, we follow the facts, prosecute the guilty, and protect the victims. Public safety is the central issue. Stop letting repeat offenders back on the street without penalty. Prosecute trafficking of children for sexual exploitation vigorously. Investigate conflicts of interest at the Public Utility Commission. Challenge approvals that clear-cut mature forest and agricultural soils or override local scenic protections. Enforce existing air- and water-pollution laws against intentional atmospheric injection of aluminum, barium, mercury, PFAS, and strontium.

I will reorient the office away from high-volume partisan federal litigation on climate, DEI, gender interventions, boys in girls sports, and election issues. Focus instead on core duties: public safety, accountability, consumer protection, and environmental enforcement under existing statutes. Evaluate federal disagreements strictly on legal merit and concrete harm to Vermont. Join or pursue lawsuits only when they serve the state’s interests. Decline those that risk federal aid for partisan signaling. Negotiate resumption of federal funding. Drop all litigation against fossil fuel providers, including the climate superfund already ruled illegal by a federal court in New York.
