Joe Curran to retire after '06 term.

Edited on Mon May-08-06 08:24 AM by nickshepDEM

J. Joseph Curran Jr. (D), Maryland’s longest-serving elected attorney general, will not run again this fall, ending a nearly half-century career in public office during which he emerged as a leading liberal voice on issues of race, the death penalty and gun control.

Curran’s decision not to seek a sixth term, shared in an interview yesterday, adds additional drama to an already extraordinary election year in Maryland.

2. there's also

Tom Perez, Montgomery County Council member also has thrown his name into that race. I like both Doug and Tom, so I don't know who I'm going to be pulling for in November.
