Delaware AG Joseph "Beau" Biden III announced today that he will not seek reelection in 2014, and instead will stand for Governor in 2016.
According to a statement on AG Biden's website, he "concluded that it is not right to ask for your support in 2014, knowing that my focus would be divided between doing my job as Attorney General while at the same time running as a candidate for Governor."
AG Biden has been Delaware AG since 2007. He is also a JAG officer in the Delaware Army National Guard and served a tour in Iraq from 2008–2009. He is the son of Vice President Joe Biden.
No Democrat or Republican has announced a challenge to AG Biden, so the AG race is wide open as of this writing. The filing period closes July 8.
