Attorney General, Kwame Raoul served as a state senator for 14 years, during which time he championed various policies in criminal justice, environmental protection, and consumer rights. Understanding that the true value of these policies lies in their enforcement, he transitioned to a role where he could directly ensure their implementation. As part of the 2018 class of state attorneys general, Kwame has worked both individually and collaboratively to uphold the laws he helped create. His dedication also contributed to the expansion of the Attorney General Black Caucus from two to six members, with prospects of further growth.
