RW Federal Forum luncheon with VA Attorney General Jason Miyares

RSVP by November 18th

Attorney General Jason Miyares’ story doesn’t start in Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba, penniless and homeless. She immigrated to Virginia and raised Jason to appreciate freedom, fairness, and justice for all. A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from James Madison University and a Juris Doctorate from the College of William and Mary School of Law.

Jason Miyares is the first Hispanic American to be elected to a statewide office in Virginia, and the first child of an immigrant to be Attorney General. Since his inauguration in January 2022, Miyares has been focused on fighting violent crime and improving public safety, strengthening economic growth, combatting the deadly impact of opioids and fentanyl, and protecting Virginians from corporate misconduct. His office has secured over $1 billion in opioid settlements for drug addiction and recovery from pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors, holding them accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic. He kept his promise to Virginians by investigating the 2020 Parole Board, discovering that they broke the law and jeopardized public safety by releasing violent, repeat offenders early with life sentences. Miyares also launched Operation Ceasefire, a comprehensive approach to fighting violent crime by focusing on intervention and aggressive prosecution of gun crimes.
