Editing Rob McKenna (section)

===First term===
In his first year as attorney general, McKenna founded "Operation: Allied Against Meth", a program designed to reduce the drug's manufacture and use in Washington.<ref name="bio1"/> The initiative included an increase in the law enforcement and prosecution personnel dedicated to cracking down on methamphetamine-related crimes, a statewide educational program to help prevent the use of the drug, and a legislative alliance devoted to improving Washington's meth problem. Since the initiative began, deaths from methamphetamine use in Washington have fallen by a third, while the incidence of driving under the influence of meth decreased by over 25 percent.<ref name="Meth">{{cite web|title=Operation: Allied Against Meth |url=http://www.atg.wa.gov/AlliedAgainstMeth/default.aspx |accessdate=June 6, 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429215618/http://www.atg.wa.gov/AlliedAgainstMeth/default.aspx |archivedate=April 29, 2011}}</ref>
