Raúl Torrez is New Mexico’s 32nd Attorney General. A former federal prosecutor and senior advisor in the U.S. Department of Justice, he has dedicated his career to public service and strengthening the rule of law. Prior to being elected Attorney General, he served as District Attorney for the Albuquerque metro area, where he led one of the state’s largest law offices.

As Attorney General, Torrez has brought a clear and focused approach to some of New Mexico’s most difficult challenges. He has made protecting children a top priority—filing lawsuits against major tech companies like Meta and Snap Inc. for enabling online abuse, investigating failures in the child welfare system, and launching undercover operations to arrest online predators. His office is also working to improve youth mental health and reduce harmful behavior such as cyberbullying and hazing in schools.

Torrez has positioned the New Mexico Department of Justice as a strong advocate for transparency, accountability, and constitutional governance. His office has led national efforts to uphold democratic principles, challenge executive overreach, and defend the separation of powers. He has also worked to protect public funds, improve oversight in higher education, and safeguard New Mexico’s natural resources from environmental harm and exploitation.

A graduate of Harvard University, the London School of Economics, and Stanford Law School, Attorney General Torrez lives in Albuquerque with his wife, Nasha, and their two children.
