WASHINGTON, DC – The Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) released the following statement after CNBC reported that Virginia lost its prestigious ranking as the #1 state for businesses as a result of Trump’s illegal federal firings.  

Statement from Carolyn Fiddler, DAGA’s Communications Director: 

“When AGs sued Trump over his illegal firings of millions of federal workers, MAGA Miyares did nothing to protect Virginians who were at risk. Now, Virginia and its economy are paying for Miyares’ inaction. All Virginians, including the more than 300,000 federal employees in the Commonwealth, deserve an AG who will fight for them and defend Virginia’s economic interests. As Attorney General, Jay Jones will stand up to the Trump administration to protect Virginia jobs and families.”
