DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa voters have elected Democrat Tom Miller to another four years as attorney general over Republican Adam Gregg. For Miller, his victory Tuesday marked the ninth time he’s won election as attorney general. He’s served in the position since being first elected in 1978, except for four years in the 1990s after a failed bid for governor.

In his campaign, Miller emphasized his work on consumer protection issues, including pursuing businesses that run deceptive member buying clubs. He says he wants to prosecute more cases involving human trafficking.

Gregg called for protecting families by creating a division that would prosecute crimes against children and focus on issues such as human trafficking and cyber bullying.
