Ind. Gov't. - More on: Attorney General Carter will not run for third term

Updating yesterday's entry, Tim Evans reports today in an Indianapolis Star story headlined "Attorney general's decision not to run sets off scramble", that begins:

At least three Republicans and one Democrat surfaced Monday as potential candidates to succeed state Attorney General Steve Carter, who surprised even political insiders with a weekend announcement that he will not seek a third term.

Confirming interest in filling the void on the GOP ticket were Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi; Carter's chief deputy, Greg Zoeller; and Indianapolis attorney Tom Wheeler, who is chairman of the State Election Commission.

In November, the Republican nominee likely will face Democrat Linda Pence, a former U.S. Justice Department attorney who is a partner in the Indianapolis law firm Sommer Barnard.

Democrats and Republicans will select their attorney general candidates at the parties' respective state conventions in June. The Republican convention is June 2; Democrats will caucus June 20-21.
