Dave Yost was re-elected as Ohio’s 51st attorney general on Nov. 8, 2022, receiving more votes than any other attorney general in the state’s history. 

During his first term as the state’s chief legal officer, he quickly gained a national reputation as a fearless advocate for the rule of law — or, as he puts it, “the same rules for everybody.”

Yost’s goal is to “do big good” for the people of Ohio by protecting consumers, rooting out corruption, defending the environment, ensuring an open and competitive marketplace, and fulfilling the many other duties of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

Yost began his public-service career as Delaware County auditor, later winning election as that county’s prosecutor.

From 2011 through 2018, he served as Ohio’s auditor of state and, in January 2019, began his first term as attorney general.

Yost earned his bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University and law degree from Capital University.

He and his wife, Darlene, live in Franklin County; they have three grown children and four grandchildren.

The Ashbrook Center, located on the campus of Ashland University, seeks to restore and strengthen the capacities of the American people for constitutional self-government.

Ashbrook teaches students and teachers across the country what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world.
