Ind. Gov't. - More on the Attorney General race

Jon Murray has a long story today in the Indianapolis Star highlighting the race for Indiana attorney general. It begins:

The man who served as chief deputy in the Indiana attorney general's office during Steve Carter's two terms wants to expand on efforts such as the do-not-call list that made his boss popular with voters.

The Democratic challenger hopes to overhaul the office, assigning its lawyers new tasks and elevating the top post's role into a strong advocate for children and against crime.

Both hope you'll notice their plans -- even if you only remember a 30-second TV ad -- amid an election season consumed by a contentious governor's race and the most active presidential contest in Indiana in recent memory.

The Star is scheduled to endorse an AG candidate tomorrow.

Today the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette endorsed Linda Pence for AG in this editorial that begins:

Hoosiers are fortunate in having two qualified and competent candidates vying to serve as attorney general. Incumbent Steve Carter decided not to seek re-election, but the race between the Democratic candidate, Linda Pence, and the Republican candidate, Greg Zoeller, still comes down to a choice between the status quo or reinvigorating the office.

Voters should choose Pence. She is the more experienced attorney and has a management plan that should improve the functioning of the attorney general’s office.
