Attorney General Patrick Lynch
In the race for Rhode Island Attorney General, the incumbent claims to have experience that his challenger does not. Attorney General Patrick Lynch began his legal career as a state prosecutor and has been the elected official in charge of the office for the past four years. But experience also gives Lynch a public record that Republican Bill Harsch criticizes regularly. Attorney General Lynch told WRNI's Bob Seay he holds one of the most challenging positions in state government, but also one of the most gratifying.

Republican Bill Harsch
The race for Rhode Island attorney general this year is a re-match from the election four years ago. Incumbent Patrick Lynch is opposed by Republican Bill Harsch. Harsch challenged Lynch for the post previously as an independent. Bill Harsch told WRNI's Bob Seay the importance of the office of Attorney General can't be over-looked.
