What the Rhode Island attorney general does
The attorney general is Rhode Island's top legal official, prosecutes criminal cases, represents state agencies in litigation, brings legal actions to protect residents, and oversees criminal-identification functions.
Shared authority: The attorney general works within statutes, court rules, judicial review, and the facts of individual matters. An investigation, filing, or office result is not automatically a candidate position.
How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote includes only official prosecutions, filings, settlements, legal positions, rules, or direct statements explicitly attributed to the attorney general or candidate.
