I'm an old trial lawyer.

I have a record as attorney general that is separate from my personal beliefs.

Obviously I'm a lawyer; I like to have cases.

I'm a hard headed lawyer.

The term 'human rights defender,' incidentally, isn't something I or my attorneys came up with. Personally, I find it a little embarrassing.

I am running for Attorney General because I believe there is no higher calling than the pursuit of justice.

It was a privilege to serve as the assistant attorney general for civil rights, a role that allowed me to enforce the Civil Rights Act and help make its promise a reality.

I am not a civil rights leader, and I don't profess to be one.

All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.
