Republican Chandler to jump into AG race

I was wondering when the race for attorney general this year might start to heat up. So far, no Democrats have announced against incumbent Gary King. And, as of today, no Republicans had either.

It turns out 9th Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler this afternoon in Albuquerque will take the plunge. The Republican is expected to announce his candidacy on the steps of the Metro Court. The significance of the court backdrop is huge, of course, given the Metro Court scandal of recent years.
