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.
