 BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Former U.S. Sen. John Breaux said he will run for Louisiana governor if the state attorney general determines he meets the legal requirements to enter the race.
The Democratic former senator is considered a strong possible contender in the Oct. 20 primary, and other potential Democratic candidates are waiting in the wings, saying they won't run if Breaux does. Gov. Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat, announced earlier this week she won't seek a second term, leaving the position wide open.
Breaux said he would give up his lobbying job in Washington, D.C., and begin campaigning if the state attorney general determines he meets residency requirements to run.
