Updated at 6:14 p.m. with more comment from Sorrell.
Vermont’s Democratic attorney general, Bill Sorrell, said Thursday he plans to run for a ninth full term as the state’s top prosecutor next November.
In an appearance on WDEV’s “The Mark Johnson Show,” Sorrell first said he was “intending to run” for reelection. When pressed further, he said, “I’m going to run.”
Sorrell’s intentions have been a topic of great speculation since he narrowly survived a primary election challenge in August 2012. The AG, who was first appointed to the post in 1997, defeated Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan by just 714 votes. Sorrell went on to easily defeat Republican businessman Jack McMullen and Progressive activist Ed Stanak.

I’m sure this welfare state would vote him back in.
