About
Living the American Dream
Attorney General Jason Miyares’ story doesn’t start in Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba, when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba penniless and homeless. She immigrated to Virginia and raised Jason to appreciate freedom, fairness, and justice for all. A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration from James Madison University and received his J.D. from the College of William and Mary School of Law.
Jason Miyares Steps Up to Serve Virginia
Jason served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney Office, where he worked alongside law enforcement to keep our families safe. In 2015, almost fifty years to the day that she fled Cuba, Miriam was able to vote for Jason to represent her in the Virginia House of Delegates. After serving for three terms in the state legislature, he ran and was elected the 48th Attorney General of Virginia.
