MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Former federal prosecutor Michel Nicrosi
says she plans to run for Alabama attorney general as a Democrat.
The 45-year-old Nicrosi says she is filing papers Thursday with
the Alabama Secretary of State's office showing she will run for
the Democratic nomination in 2010.
Nicrosi of Daphne was a former assistant U.S. attorney and had
been considered for the U.S. attorney's job in Alabama's Middle
District.
Nicrosi said she believes the attorney general's office needs a
prosecutor and not another politician.
The former executive director of the Alabama Democratic Party,
Giles Perkins, has said he is running for attorney general as a
Democrat. Republican incumbent Attorney General Troy King faces a
primary challenge from Birmingham attorney Luther Strange.
