Only in this nation could a first-generation American, whose first language wasn’t even English, become a government prosecutor and a state’s chief law enforcement officer. As I look back on my time in office, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities that Arizona and America have afforded my family and me.
It has been a great honor to serve as attorney general for the state I love. The past eight years have brought tough challenges and momentous victories. As the Grateful Dead once sang, “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” I wouldn’t change a thing, though, from my time in office, and I regret none of the actions we took on behalf of hard-working taxpayers. One of my top priorities as attorney general has always been consumer protection. Recently, we announced an $85 million settlement with Google LLC for tracking users’ location data without their knowledge and consent. I am proud of this historic settlement, one of the largest in these types of cases, proving no entity is above the law.
