From the Washington Post:

Republican Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, a state senator from Fairfax County, hopes to be an entirely different attorney general than what Virginians have grown accustomed to.

In addition to talking up gang prevention, Internet crimes and sex offenses against children, Cuccinelli promises to make defending Virginia’s ban on gay marriage a top priority. He doesn’t believe the theory of climate change. He is ready to sue the federal government if it restricts emissions or expands union powers.

Cuccinelli, 41, says he wants to transform a job most people know virtually nothing about from a steppingstone to the governor’s office into a platform for long-term reform. He is prepared not to defend state laws he deems unconstitutional. He plans to scrub the books clean of what he calls burdensome regulations. He would push a constitutional amendment protecting private property rights.
