PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP/WPRI) - Republican defense lawyer Erik Wallin says he plans to run for Rhode Island attorney general.
The South Kingstown resident filed an updated notice of organization form with the state Board of Elections on Wednesday. He created a campaign fundraising committee back in February.

Walkin, 39, tells the The Providence Journal his goals are to lead an attorney general's office that is more aggressive in fighting public corruption and more hands-on in helping cities and towns deal with sex offenders and gang violence.
So far, one Democrat has announced his intention to run.
Current Attorney General Patrick Lynch cannot run because of term limits.
