The Virginia Mercury’s 2025 elections questionnaire: attorney general
Table of Contents
Three contenders — Republican incumbent Jason Miyares, and Democrats Jay Jones and Shannon Taylor — are aiming to become Virginia’s top prosecutor. The Mercury asked the attorney general hopefuls to answer a questionnaire to outline their vision for the role, their priorities concerning crime and consumer protection, and what qualifies them to be the state’s leading legal counsel. Here are their responses.
Republicans
Jason Miyares (did not respond to questionnaire, but recently participated in an in-depth interview with the Mercury about his candidacy.)
Democrats
On primary day, June 17, Jones or Taylor will win the chance to challenge Miyares on Election Day in November. Follow the Mercury’s 2025 Virginia elections and politics coverage on our website and subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed.
