LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ A top attorney for Arkansas who has represented the
state in lawsuits over abortion restrictions, efforts to resume executions and
other cases is leaving for a job with Walmart later this month.

The attorney general’s office announced Wednesday state Solicitor General
Lee Rudofsky is leaving July 20 to join Walmart’s anticorruption compliance team
in northwest Arkansas. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge announced Nicholas
Bronni, currently the deputy solicitor general, will replace Rudofsky.

Rutledge announced the creation of the solicitor general position in 2015 to
assist with multi-state consumer protection cases and appeals cases at the state
and federal level and hired Rudofsky for the position.

Bronni has been with the AG’s office since April 2016. Bronni’s annual salary
will be $140,000, the same as Rudofsky’s.
