OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City attorney Jim Priest is the latest candidate to announce his plans to seek the attorney general post in 2010.

The 54-year-old Democrat plans to announce his candidacy at a series of press conferences across the state on Wednesday and Thursday.

Priest is the first Democratic candidate to seek the job being vacated by current Democratic Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who is running for governor.

Priest is the former president of the board for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and a board member for Habitat for Humanity.

Republican Oklahoma City attorney Ryan Leonard announced last month that he also is a candidate.

Republican state Rep. Randy Terrill and state Sen. Jonathan Nichols also are reported to be considering the race.
