Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge announced Tuesday the hiring of Sarah Page Tacker of Conway as deputy attorney general for public protection.
Tacker began her tenure at the Attorney General’s Office in 2006 as an assistant attorney general for the Consumer Utility Rate Advocacy Division, where she represented the interests of Arkansas’s utility customers through advocacy, education and litigation, according to a news release.
In 2010, she was named a senior assistant attorney general for the Consumer Protection Division and Consumer Counsel of Arkansas.
“Since 2010, Sarah has worked tirelessly on behalf of consumers across Arkansas, directing resources and supervising consumer protection investigation and litigation,” Rutledge said in a statement. “I know Sarah will continue to ensure that there are fewer scam artists and people committing fraud against Arkansans as she assumes her new role as deputy attorney general for the Public Protection Department.”
Tacker is a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law
Last month, Rutledge hired Lloyd Warford, a former public defender and prosecutor, to lead the Arkansas Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. With the promotion of Tacker, the deputy attorneys general team is complete.
