Former GOP Candidate For Attorney General, Rob Bell, Supports Miyares
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Former prosecutor and Delegate Jason Miyares today announced his first series of endorsements of support for his Republican nomination campaign for Virginia Attorney General in next year’s election:
Delegate Rob Bell (R-58)
Senator John Cosgrove (R-14)
Dennis Free, Chairman, 2nd District Republican Committee
Delegate Terry Kilgore (R-1)
Louise D. Hartz, Former President, Virginia Society for Human Life
Delegate Matt Fariss (R-59)
Bill Curtis, Chairman, Virginia Beach Republican Committee
Delegate Margaret Ransone (R-99)
Senator Bill DeSteph (R-8)
Delegate Mark Cole (R-88)
“Now more than ever, we need a strong voice of reason as Virginia’s chief law enforcement officer, and Jason Miyares is the right conservative for this job,” said Delegate Bell. “For two terms, Mark Herring has used the Attorney General’s office to be an activist that creates law; we must get back to having an Attorney General that enforces the law.”
“I’m honored to have these fellow Republicans standing with our campaign to restore conservative leadership back to Richmond for a safe and secure Commonwealth,” said Miyares. “Today’s Democrat leadership in Richmond are not your father’s Democrats. They are more concerned about the rights of criminals than they are of victims. It’s time for change.”
About Jason Miyares:

She legally immigrated to the United States and instilled in her three sons a passionate love of the freedom and democracy of America. Jason grew up in Virginia Beach and eventually graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and the College of William & Mary School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree.
