Florida’s newly sworn-in Attorney General James Uthmeier took to Newsmax’s National Report this week to sound a warning everyone in public life should hear: public safety and law and order matter, and Virginia’s attorney general race is a frontline test. Uthmeier — no squishy bureaucrat, but a DeSantis ally who has fought to restore common-sense governance in Florida — praised incumbent Jason Miyares for focusing on violent crime and community safety rather than the soft-on-crime fashions of the Left.
Uthmeier’s remarks carry weight because he’s not a hollow pundit; he was appointed Florida’s attorney general in February 2025 after a record of aggressive conservative legal work with Governor Ron DeSantis. He’s made a point of confronting radical prosecutors and activist-driven policies that put ideology ahead of victims — the same fights Virginians are seeing played out in their own contests.
Jason Miyares has spent his tenure as Virginia’s top law enforcement officer building programs that actually move the needle on violent crime, launching Operation Ceasefire and partnering with local police to get dangerous offenders off the street. The results are the sorts of commonsense outcomes voters expect: measurable reductions in murders and other violent crimes in targeted cities, not virtue-signaling press releases about feel-good reforms that invite repeat offenders back into neighborhoods.
That record is why Miyares has chosen to run for reelection — a decision he made public to keep doing the hard work of protecting families rather than chasing headlines or higher office. Conservatives should celebrate a prosecutor who prioritizes victims and public safety over woke theory, and who uses the bully pulpit of the attorney general’s office to defend law-abiding citizens.
Contrast that with the Democratic nominee’s recent scandal: leaked text messages revealing truly alarming rhetoric toward political opponents and even their children, a revelation that rightly raised bipartisan concern about temperament and judgment. When one side peddles violent rhetoric in private while demanding civility from others in public, it exposes a double standard that should make every voter wary of entrusting them with the Commonwealth’s top law-enforcement post.
This race is bigger than one state office — it’s a test of whether common-sense law enforcement and respect for victims can hold against an elite culture that rewards radical prosecutors and excuses shocking rhetoric. Americans who value safety, accountability, and the rule of law should watch closely and demand leaders who will protect communities instead of pandering to the mobs. Those are the stakes, and conservatives should be loud and proud in defending them.
