DeWine Names Ohio AG Yost’s Replacement

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine on Monday announced Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson is his pick to serve for the remaining six months of outgoing Attorney General Dave Yost’s term.

Last Thursday, Yost made his resignation official, effective June 7. He’ll leave his current post to work for Alliance Defending Freedom.

Wilson previously served as DeWine’s senior advisor for criminal justice policy in his first term. He became the public safety director in December 2022.

In a statement, Yost appeared pleased with DeWine’s choice for his successor, calling it “a wise selection.” He also highlighted Wilson’s experience as a county prosecuting attorney, and also in his current role, noting that “our offices have frequently collaborated to keep Ohioans safe.”
