RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Republican state Sen. Buck Newton will seek the Republican Party's nomination for Attorney General. The seat is likely to be open in 2016 as speculation mounts that the current office holder, Democrat Roy Cooper, will not seek re-election and instead will run for governor.

Newton is a lawyer. He serves Senate District 11, which encompasses Johnston, Nash, and Wilson counties.

Speculation has also enveloped state Sen. Josh Stein of Wake County as a potential Democratic contender for the Attorney General's seat.
