A top Republican in the House of Delegates said Tuesday that state Attorney General Mark Herring (D) should resign over his intention to run for governor in 2021. [State Attorney General Mark Herring to run for Virginia governor in 2021]Herring confirmed last week to the Washington Post that he intends to seek the Democratic nomination for governor in three years, after Gov. Voters elected Herring to a second four-year term as attorney general in 2017. At that point, Cuccinelli had been “running full-time for several months” and not performing his duties as attorney general, Kelly said. Terry McAuliffe, not Mark Herring, was the victor.
