The following day, W&M alumnus Bill Mims (’79) was recommended by Attorney General Bob McDonnell to take over in Richmond as the state’s top legal counsel. 麦克唐奈于2月3日宣布辞职竞选州长。 Mims has served the past three years as McDonnell’s chief deputy.

“金妮·麦克劳克林和比尔·米姆斯是威廉&玛丽公司的两颗非常明亮的明星,也是英联邦的两位忠诚的仆人,”威廉&玛丽公司总裁泰勒·雷维里说。 “金妮将为州教育委员会带来丰富的经验和智慧,就像比尔将担任司法部长一样。”

麦克劳克林于1971年在威廉玛丽大学获得心理学学士学位。 She earned her master’s degree from Peabody College at Vanderbilt and her doctorate from Memphis State University. 1983年,她回到威廉玛丽学院担任助理教授,1995年,她成为教育学院院长。

In her position with the Board of Education, McLaughlin will help with the oversight of Virginia’s public school system, establish educational objectives such as the Standard of Learning tests, make annual reports to the governor and General Assembly on the condition and needs of public schools, and approve instructional materials for use in schools.

麦克劳克林说:“我很荣幸被凯恩州长任命为教育委员会成员。 “我的整个职业生涯都在公共教育领域度过,我想不出比在州教育委员会任职更大的挑战和机遇了。”
 
她补充说:“作为一所教育学院的院长,我一直一只脚踏在高等教育领域,另一只脚踏在P-12学校。 我希望我的背景将使我能够为董事会贡献独特的观点。” 

米姆斯于1979年在威廉玛丽大学获得历史学士学位。 在学院期间,他担任学生会主席。 他还在威廉玛丽学院完成了美国政治和公共管理的研究生工作。 米姆斯在乔治华盛顿大学获得法学博士学位,在乔治敦大学获得法学硕士学位。

在1995年担任现职之前,米姆斯曾于1992年至1997年在弗吉尼亚州众议院任职,并于1998年至2005年在弗吉尼亚州参议院任职,代表第33区(伦敦和费尔法克斯县的部分地区)。 McDonnell’s recommendation will now go to Gov. Kaine and the General Assembly for approval.

“There is not a single person more qualified, or more prepared, to serve as Attorney General than Bill,” McDonnell said in his farewell address. “I’ve known a lot of people in public life. I’ve known few as principled, decent and smart as Bill. I am confident that the General Assembly will approve his appointment, and I know this Office will be in the best of hands under his leadership.”
