2021 Virginia Attorney General election

Candidates Nominee • Mark Herring, incumbent attorney general Eliminated in primary • Jay Jones, state delegate for Virginia's 89th House of Delegates district Endorsements Debates Mark Herring and Jay Jones agreed to one debate. The debate started off with Mark Herring talking about his record and saying what he has done about certain cases vs what Jones was doing at the time. Jay Jones started off talking about his endorsement from Governor at the time, Ralph Northam, and claiming Herring's past didn't matter for what was happening in the present. Herring and Jones agreed on almost every issue asked to them. When the rebuttals came though, Herring would often claim that Jones didn't support something when he was on the legislature and Jones would point to an example where they agreed on it in the past. When Jones rebutted Herring, Jones claimed that Herring didn't begin on the issue until it was in the political atmosphere. Polling Results == Republican convention ==
