Attorney General Greg Stumbo said during an interview today that he will not run for governor. Stumbo, a Democrat, said he plans to seek a second term as the state’s chief law-enforcement official but has “one more option” to consider, and will decide by Monday which office he’ll seek this year. He did not deny that he might run for lieutenant governor as someone’s running mate. Asked about this year’s already-crowded field of candidates in the governor’s race, Stumbo said he thinks former Lt. Gov. Steve Henry is the front-runner at this time.
