Cuccinelli digs in to set course for AG’s office
November 30, 2009 | Virginia News
As the attorney general-elect, Cuccinelli -- a 41-year-old lawyer, father of seven and Republican state senator from Fairfax County -- inherits a statewide office formerly occupied by Bob McDonnell, who leveraged the high-profile post into a successful run for governor this fall.
"The first priority really is to get a team in place here that can continue, and we're always seeking to improve the professional quality of the work done in the AG's office," Cuccinelli said.
"My focus is getting settled and doing this right and getting in and taking the first few steps correctly. I'm trying to take a longer view, not just one session."
And he said he would work to improve the state's response to Internet predators and continue McDonnell's commitment to combat gang activity.
"Gangs are the greatest violent-crime threat in Virginia," Cuccinelli said.
