The Sun Journal names three candidates who will compete for appointment by the legislature to the Attorney General post next session, replacing the term-limited Steve Rowe.

State Reps. John Brautigam of Falmouth, Sean Faircloth of Bangor and Janet Mills of Farmington have all confirmed they are in the running for the position.[...]

Faircloth, who currently holds the third-highest House leadership position, has decided not to run for re-election to the Legislature in favor of concentrating on his AG bid, but Mills and Brautigam are.

UPDATE: John Brautigam is not running for re-election.
