Editor’s Note: This question-and-answer interview with Democratic attorney general candidate Paul Doyle is the fourth in a series of profiles of the five candidates vying for the job.

Growing up in a political household, Paul Doyle said he learned a lot about Democratic politics and the law from his mentor: his father, former Superior Court Judge Ed Doyle. It is this greater understanding of life and the law that he learned from his father that Doyle said has guided him in his race for attorney general.
