Aaron Ford is Nevada’s 34th Attorney General and the first Black official to hold statewide constitutional office in the state. He took office in 2019 after serving in the Nevada State Senate, where he was both Majority and Minority Leader. Born in Dallas, Texas, Ford grew up in a working-class household and was the first in his family to graduate college. He earned degrees from Texas A&M, George Washington University, and The Ohio State University, including a J.D. and Ph.D.

Before public office, Ford worked as a public school teacher, clerked for federal judges, and became a partner at two major law firms. As Attorney General, he has prioritized consumer protection, criminal justice reform, and opioid accountability—securing over $1.1 billion for Nevada from drug companies and leading efforts to test backlogged sexual assault kits.

In 2025, Ford led or joined multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration, opposing attempts to dismantle the Department of Education, restrict DEI funding, impose voting limitations, expand tariffs, and cut public health grants. He argued these actions violated constitutional rights and jeopardized state services, including nearly $1 billion in business costs and $35 million in health funding for Nevada. Ford lives in Las Vegas with his wife Berna, an attorney, their three sons, and a nephew.

Attorney General Ford recently announced his run for Governor in 2026.
