Sean D. Reyes is a Republican, and the Attorney General of Utah. He is running for reelection in the November 2016 Election, Utah.
He has been accused by Michael W. IsBell of becoming a rubber-stamp for the state, a contention that is supported by his statement that "We defend the laws, whether we agree with them or not", along with his defense of Utah's ag-gag legislation.[1]
Supported H.B. 384 which infringed on the property rights of Utahns by enabling abusive application of asset forfeiture.[2]
Appointed by Gary R. Herbert in 2013 to fill a vacancy left by John Swallow, who resigned amidst federal investigation. He was then elected to finish his predecessor's term in 2014.
Sean D. Reyes has spoken out in support of the work of Operation Underground Railroad, and even participated in one of their operations.[3]
He has expressed that he supports Donald Trump for president.[4]
Common Core
At the request of Gary R. Herbert, Sean Reyes issued a report answering a number of legal questions regarding Common Core. The report contained factual errors and appears to be designed to support Gary Herbert's then agenda to promote and adopt common core in Utah.[5][6][7]
