GOP Governor Says He’ll Seek Reelection

Gov. Bob Riley said he would seek reelection, setting up a hotly contested Republican primary against ousted state Chief Justice Roy Moore. Moore announced his plans to run for governor Monday in Gadsden, where he first gained national recognition for his legal fight to display the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.
The two will meet in the Republican primary June 6. The field might grow -- State Sen. Harri Anne Smith said she would decide in December whether to seek the GOP nomination.
