I voted for Jason Miyares because the alternative was to elect someone who wanted me and my family dead, but this reads like it was written in 1995 instead of 2025.
People on the Right do not wish to hear a bunch of Left-coded stuff about identity politics and immigrants. Completely tone deaf statement.
"And always remember, we are fellow Americans before we are political opponents."
No, we are not. Democrats are not "fellow Americans". They are enemies. They have no allegiance to this country because they're liberals, and liberals have no country of their own. They actually hate this country. And they hate you, the anon reading this, personally. They wish death upon you and your children, and they have made this wish abundantly clear for two months now.
I wish Jason had won. But like so many other Republican politicians, he clearly has no idea what time it is.
My fellow Virginians,
It has been the honor of my life to serve as your 48th Attorney General.
Virginia's safety has always been my mission - and my reverence for the rule of law is deeply personal.
Only in America could the son of a Cuban refugee become a state delegate, then rise to become the highest-ranking Latino official and Attorney General in Virginia's history. I carry with me my family's story from Cuba and the lessons my Uncle Ángel taught me about what it means to live in a nation of laws, not of men.
Some of my proudest moments as AG were welcoming new Americans at naturalization ceremonies, remembering my own mother asking me to teach her our Pledge of Allegiance before she took her oath. Sixty years ago, a 19-year-old girl, scared and alone, boarded a plane with nothing but hope. Mamita, thank you for always being my North Star.
From the outset, we made public safety our top priority. We cut murders by 30% with the help of Operation Ceasefire, drove the largest drop in addiction deaths in America, took enough fentanyl off our streets to save millions of lives, and never wavered in our support for the men and women in uniform.
I want to thank my wife, Page, my three beautiful daughters, and my mom, Miriam, for their love and sacrifice. To all of my team, staff, allies, and supporters like all of you - I'm truly blessed to have you by my side.
Until my last day in office, ensuring your family's safety will remain my highest priority. I don't yet know what my next chapter holds, but I know that my story isn't over. This isn't goodbye — it's see you later. I will always fight for Virginia, no matter what role I serve in.
I wish Jay Jones the very best in this new role — because Virginians deserve the best. We need an Attorney General who wakes up every day focused on keeping Virginians safe, and it is my sincere hope that he does just that.
Please join me in praying for Jay Jones' wisdom and guidance as he takes on this sacred responsibility. And always remember, we are fellow Americans before we are political opponents.
Elections are like pendulums. It will swing back — it always does.
See you on the trail ahead.
With Eternal Gratitude,
Jason S. Miyares, 48th Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia
