Governor Phil Scott Appoints Farzana Leyva Orleans County State's Attorney

Governor Phil Scott today announced the appointment of Farzana Leyva, of Westfield, as Orleans County state's attorney.

Farzana has served as acting state's attorney since Governor Scott appointed former state's attorney Jennifer Barrett to the superior court. Judge Barrett was the only candidate on the ballot for state's attorney and cannot assume the role, leaving the vacancy.

"Farzana is well respected in the community and has proven herself to be hard working and dedicated to the role," said Governor Scott. "I'm confident she will continue to serve the people of Orleans County well as state's attorney."
