MSU Law Prof. Totten runs for attorney general
EAST LANSING (AP) -- A Michigan State University law professor who used to be a federal prosecutor is running for Michigan attorney general in 2014.
Democrat Mark Totten made the announcement in an email to supporters on Monday. Democrats will choose their attorney general candidate at a nominating convention next year.
No other Democratic candidates have entered the race, but it's early. Republican Attorney General Bill Schuette is expected to seek re-election.
Totten says Michigan needs a "people's lawyer" who will fight for them. The Kalamazoo resident has a law degree from Yale and lost a 2010 Democratic primary for a state Senate seat.
He has been a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney's Office in western Michigan, clerk for a U.S. Court of Appeals judge and staff attorney for the Justice Department.
