WAKEFIELD – Passers-by in Wakefield last week were greeted on the streets by Steve Archambault, Democratic candidate for Attorney General.
Archambault spent the better part of last week on the campaign trail, spending time in various parts of Southern Rhode Island introducing himself to the public and listening to their comments.
He also visited The Times in our Wakefield office for an exclusive interview. “I think I bring a well-rounded perspective to the position,” he said on Friday. “I’ve served as a prosecuting attorney, a defense attorney and have been a police officer in the town of Jamestown. I bring with me points of view and experience that other candidates do not have.” His list of qualifications is accomplished, a balance of law, law enforcement and public policy. He has attended both the police academy and law school. His professional career in the field of justice began in 1998, when he served as a Jamestown policeman for five years. During that time he pursued his education, graduating from American University, and in 2006, from Salve Regina University, with a Master’s degree in Justice.
“As the Lincoln town prosecutor I focus on cases typically involving things like domestic disturbances, disorderly conduct,” Archambault said.
