Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler is running for re-election to a second term as the state’s chief legal officer.
“Over the past four years, with the assistance of a superb and dedicated team, we have stood up for the people of Maryland, taking on predatory lenders, Medicaid cheats, internet predators, and polluters who poison the Chesapeake Bay. I am filing for re-election to continue our work in protecting our communities, our economy, and our environment,” Gansler said.
Gansler has accomplished a great deal in his first term as Attorney General. He has embarked on a river-by-river environmental audit of the Chesapeake Bay, identifying problems at their source and developing solutions to improve the health of the Bay. He has also laid the groundwork for the construction of a power plant to convert more than 500 million pounds of chicken manure into energy. Attorney General Gansler established the first Gang Prosecution Unit in the Office of Attorney General, created C.L.I.C.K.S. - a statewide Internet safety initiative focused on school-aged children - and joined other attorneys general in targeting sexual predators prowling social networking websites. He has also continued to protect Marylanders from fraud and deception, helped to ensure the honesty and integrity of the marketplace, and provided millions of dollars in monetary relief to Maryland consumers who were victims of illegal practices.
