Bill Mims confirmed as new AG in unanimous decision by Virginia General Assembly
Bill Mims, the chief deputy under Bob McDonnell, has been confirmed as the new Attorney General by the unanimous action of the General Assembly according to Bearing Drift. An excellent decision.
Bill was the State Senator for my district when I moved into Countryside back in 2004. It was during the 2004 Presidential elections that I found out he was also a neighbor, living just a few doors down from me on my street. Seeing him take the job under Bob McDonnell in 2006 was sad for me for 2 reasons: I liked him as a Senator and his taking the job in the AG’s office also meant I was losing him as a neighbor. It was Virginia’s gain, however, and moving him into the AG’s slot is to Virginia’s greater advantage. He’ll do great.
Congrats, Bill!

Fantastic. I imagine this is playing out just as Mims wants. Now, all he needs is for McDonnell to get elected gov then move into a cushy spot with his admin.
