Attorney General — Connecticut
Connecticut Attorney General · educational cover · justice civic · American Future Type
What this office is
The Attorney General of Connecticut is the state’s lawyer. One office. The whole state. The term is four years. The next regular election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Confirm the clock, and the Attorney General of record, on official Connecticut sites. This office has no term limit — that is a clock fact, not a crown.
This is not the Governor. The Governor file lives at Governor of Connecticut. This is not a United States Attorney. This is not a state’s attorney in a judicial district. This office is the lawyer for Connecticut.
Hartford is the capital. Bridgeport is not the capital. Eight counties hire the same Attorney General. Connecticut has no elected county sheriffs.

How the job fits this community
The inbox is a state inbox: a capital file from Hartford that is not the Gold Coast, a shore-town consumer file, a mill-valley year, and a public-integrity file that is not a mayor’s desk.
Staff who only know Hartford, or only know Bridgeport as the whole state, are not doing the job. New York is a different state. Massachusetts is a different state. Rhode Island is a different state. The shore remains Connecticut.
What the job entails
- Represent the state. Not a legislator. Not the Governor.
- Opinions where Connecticut law actually gives them.
- Civil and criminal matters the constitution and statutes actually assign.
- Consumer and public-integrity files that are state files.
- Two homes. Hartford for the job. The rest of the state for the people who hired the office.
