Governor appoints Farzana Leyva as Orleans County state’s attorney

Governor Phil Scott has appointed Farzana Leyva of Westfield as state's attorney for Orleans County. Leyva has served as acting state’s attorney since last September, when Scott appointed former state’s attorney Jennifer Barrett to the superior court.

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