Former congressman Anthony Brown will be sworn in as Maryland's attorney general on Jan. 3. What does he want to do?
, who will be sworn in on Tuesday, wants more authority than his predecessors to go after civil rights violators and to investigate police departments for patterns of misconduct.
“The Civil Rights Commission has been doing great work for 53 years, but what they don’t do is they don’t do class action. They don’t do multi-jurisdictional,” he said. “The principles, the values of fairness and justice will be the lens through which we will see the world,” he said during a recent interview.The seeds were planted for Brown to serve as the state’s top legal officer about 50 years ago when a teacher of his, Mrs. Gallo, told him she thought he would be an attorney.
In 2005, Brown, a two-term delegate returning from a nine-month tour in Iraq, explored the idea of running for attorney general.
