Time For Cuccinelli To Resign? | Virginia attorneys general who decide to run for governor traditionally resign their office to prevent the state’s top legal officer from politicizing an office that requires them to place the letter of the law above political interests. Indeed, nine of the 10 state AGs to run for the governorship since the 1940s honored this tradition. Current Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R-VA), however, refuses to do so — a break with the past that is unsurprising given that Cuccinelli has already done everything in his power to politicize the office.
