Alabama attorney general seeking re-election

Anonymous Associated Press Tue Jan 15, 2013, 08:30 AM CST

— HOOVER, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange says he will run for a second term next year.

Strange defeated incumbent Troy King in the Republican primary in 2010 and then went on to win the general election.

Strange said Monday in Hoover that he's had a busy term, but there is more he wants to do in a second term. He recently underwent knee surgery. He said he's traveling around the state again and looking forward to running for re-election.

So far, he has no announced opposition.
