WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - The race to become the next attorney general of Delaware has attracted two more hopefuls.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that Chris Johnson has announced his candidacy, resigning from his post as deputy legal counsel for Gov. John Carney. He's a Democrat who has previously worked in the law department of Wilmington's city government.
The newspaper reports that LaKresha Roberts, a state Department of Justice official, has also announced her intention to run for the post. She's a Democrat who most recently served as chief deputy attorney general.
