King, a Republican, announced Thursday at the monthly meeting of the Greater Birmingham Young Republicans Club that despite encouragement from supporters to run for governor, he will run for re-election as the state's top law enforcement officer in 2010.
Long on the list of potential gubernatorial candidates, he said he made the decision based on what is best for his family and because he wanted to follow through on a promise he made to make Alabama a safer state to live in.
The attorney general made his announcement the same week that several reports surfaced in the media that federal investigators were looking into King's office. Several former employees were called before a federal grand jury, according to the reports. |
