Aaron Darnell Ford (born May 24, 1972) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the 34th Attorney General of Nevada, since 2019.

[9] These arrests became a campaign issue in the Nevada attorney general race in 2018 and again in Ford's re-election bid in 2022,[9][10] although a fact check by the Reno Gazette-Journal in October 2022 noted that (contrary to claims made by his opponent, Republican nominee Sigal Chattah) Ford has never been convicted of a crime.

[20] Growing up, Ford was a participant in Project Upward Bound, a government program that helps predominantly low-income and first-generation students to attend college.

[20] Ford believes he “would not be where [he] is today if not for Upward Bound” because of the additional educational support and mentorship it provided him.

He continued to teach while earning his master's degree in international education from George Washington University.

After completing his studies at Ohio State, Ford moved to Michigan where he clerked for Federal Judge Denise Page Hood.

Shortly thereafter, he moved to Las Vegas for the first time to clerk for Judge Johnnie B. Rawlinson on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

[22] After completing his clerkships, Ford moved back to Texas to work at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP as an associate representing public schools, universities, and other public entities, and then Weil Gotshal & Manges as an associate practicing complex commercial litigation.

Upon moving back to Las Vegas, Aaron joined Snell & Wilmer’s litigation group and was promoted to partner a few years later.

[22] On July 21, 2018, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported that Aaron Ford "has a history of failing to fully pay his taxes."
