An Elkhart County public prosecutor has announced his candidacy to replace Greg Zoeller as Indiana’s next Attorney General. In downtown Indianapolis this morning, Curtis Hill says like his fellow Republican, he will stand up to many of the objectives and regulations sent down from the federal government.

Hill is in his fourth term as Elkhart County’s prosecutor. Zoeller will not run for re-election as Attorney General to run instead for Indiana’s 9^th district Congressional seat. The state Republican Party convention will select its candidate for Attorney General in June.
