Attorney General — Vermont

What this office is
The Attorney General of Vermont is the state’s lawyer. One office. The whole state. The term is two years. The next regular election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Confirm the clock, and the Attorney General of record, on official Vermont 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 Vermont. This is not a United States Attorney. This is not a state’s attorney. This office is the lawyer for Vermont.
Montpelier is the capital. Burlington is the largest city. Burlington is not the capital. Fourteen counties hire the same Attorney General — the Green Mountains, the Northeast Kingdom, the Champlain valley, and the Connecticut River towns included.

How the job fits this community
The inbox is a state inbox: a capital file from Montpelier that is not a Burlington waterfront, a Kingdom town that never makes a national broadcast, a Champlain-valley consumer file, and a river-town public-integrity file that is not ski-weekend news.
Staff who only know Burlington, or only know Montpelier as the whole state, are not doing the job. New Hampshire is a different state. New York is a different state. Massachusetts is a different state. The Kingdom remains Vermont.
What the job entails
- Represent the state. Not a legislator. Not the Governor.
- Opinions where Vermont law actually gives them.
- Civil and criminal matters the constitution and statutes actually assign — not every county state’s attorney’s case.
- Consumer and public-integrity files that are state files.
- Two homes. Montpelier for the job. The rest of the state for the people who hired the office.
