2. I never got that impression about him

I think his "personality" is more reflective of the peak GenXers coming into their own finally, and he can't be accused of not being "law and order" because of his many public appearances on that front, including taking the lead when the times called for it (which is what he should be doing as AG but which previous AGs have rarely "promoted themselves" as doing) and even prosecuting those in our party who needed to be prosecuted for wrong-doing.

I.e., he didn't just use the position as a stepping stone (which many do), he actually did the work and has something to show for it.

Our previous AGs here have been a panoply of stasis.

When he won that position in 2020 after Democrats lost the other top-of-the-ticket races for Auditor General and State Treasurer, it established that even in that toxic, highly-partisan environment with ticket-splitting among the indies, he was able to hold his own.
