Two Former State Lawyers Enter Rhode Island AG Race

  • Two former state lawyers—Keith Hoffmann and Robert Craven—have announced their intention to run in the Democratic primary for Rhode Island AG.
  • Incumbent AG Peter Neronha, who is term-limited, has endorsed Hoffmann, a former top aide, to be his successor. Hoffmann held multiple leadership roles in the AG’s office—including head of the Civil & Community Rights Unit and Chief of Policy—before stepping down to launch his campaign.
  • Craven is a state representative who has served in the Rhode Island House since 2012 and currently chairs the House Judiciary Committee. Earlier in his career, he was an assistant AG, a role that included leading the Public Corruption Unit.
