Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning has been unanimously elected by the members of the National Association of Attorneys General or NAAG to become the Association’s 102nd president.

“Attorneys general are uniquely situated to lead the way in building a stronger and safer future for our states and our families,” said Bruning. “Serving as president of NAAG is an honor, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on issues that affect us on both the state and national level.”

North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper was elected President-Elect, Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna as Vice President, and Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch became Immediate Past President for the 2009-2010 term.

Bruning’s presidential term lasts for one year.
