JUNEAU – Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor will resign later this month after more than three years as the state’s top lawyer.
According to a statement from Governor Mike Dunleavy, he accepted the resignation and said Taylor’s final day will be Friday, August 29.
“Attorney General Treg Taylor’s sound legal judgment and dedication to public service have made a meaningful difference for Alaska,” Dunleavy said. “From defending our right to develop Alaska’s natural resources to fighting crime, his legal leadership has helped preserve and advance opportunities for everyday Alaskans.”
Taylor, first appointed in 2021, ranks among the longest-serving attorneys general in Alaska’s history. In a statement, Dunleavy credited him with steering the state through major legal battles, from natural resource development disputes to public safety issues.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Alaska Attorney General,” Taylor said. “I am incredibly proud of what the Department has accomplished together fighting federal overreach, making our communities safer, and defending the Alaska way of life. None of these victories would have been possible without the extraordinary attorneys and staff at the Department of Law and the support of the Governor. Their dedication and professionalism inspire me, and I will always be thankful for the opportunity to have served alongside them.”
Dunleavy said he plans to name an interim attorney general before Taylor’s departure.
