Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery has informed his staff that he will not seek a second eight-year term this fall, the Tennessee Journal reports. A spokesperson for the AG’s office confirmed the news, sharing the note Slatery sent to his staff. In it, Slatery writes, “I want you to know that after much thought, discussion, prayer and seeking of advice, I sent a letter to the Supreme Court today advising them that I do not plan on applying to be re-appointed.” Prior to taking office as attorney general in 2014, Slatery served as chief legal counsel to then-Gov. Bill Haslam. The Tennessee Supreme Court will appoint a replacement, who would take office on Sept. 1.
