Episode 41: A State Attorney General Does What Exactly?

This November, voters in 30 states and the District of Columbia will be casting ballots for state attorney general.

Valerie Nannery speaks this week with Lisa Madigan, former state Attorney General for Illinois, about what it means to run for and serve as a state attorney general, and how voters can learn more about this important position before voting this fall. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Valerie Nannery, ACS Senior Director for Network Advancement Guest: Lisa Madigan, Partner at Kirkland & Ellis and Former Illinois Attorney General Link: ACS's State Attorneys General Project Link: ACS's Run.Vote.Work.
