Connecticut Attorney General William Tong was elected vice president of the National Association of Attorneys General in a unanimous vote.
Beginning Jan. 1, Tong will serve as part of a bipartisan four-person leadership team that includes Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat, as the organization’s president, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella, a Republican, as president-elect and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, a Republican, as past-president.
Tong previously served as Eastern Region chairman and finance chairman of the organization, which represents the nation’s state attorneys general.
“I am deeply honored by this support from attorneys general across the country and across the aisle,” said Tong. “Whether it is taking on the addiction industry, big tech and the social media giants, or safeguarding consumer privacy and stopping robocall scams and harassment, attorneys general are a strong bipartisan front protecting American families. At a time where partisan divisions have eroded the ability of government to function across so many levels, I take very seriously my leadership role in this diverse community.”
