OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma City attorney Jim Priest is the
latest candidate to announce his plans to seek the attorney general
post in 2010.
The 54-year-old Democrat plans to announce his candidacy at a
series of press conferences across the state on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Priest is the first Democratic candidate to seek the job being
vacated by current Democratic Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who
is running for governor.
Priest is the former president of the board for the Regional
Food Bank of Oklahoma and a board member for Habitat for Humanity.
Republican Oklahoma City attorney Ryan Leonard announced last
month that he also is a candidate.
