Rick Thompson probably won't challenge Attorney General Baker since Thompson is going to work for the GTLA.
A Monday post noted that former U.S. Attorney Rick Thompson has been hired as a lobbyist for the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association ("GTLA").
A rumor had been floating out there that Thompson had some interest in challenging Thurbert Baker for Attorney General.
The announcement that Thompson is going to work for the GTLA would seem to remove him from any possibility of running against our friend Attorney General Baker. I suspect but do not know for sure that it was part of Thompson's arrangement with the GTLA.
This leaves Republican Robert Highsmith of Atlanta, formerly deputy counsel to the governor, as the only likely GOP candidate running against Baker next year.
As noted in our 5-10-05 post about Robert Highsmith being a candidate, the Attorney General has been gearing up for a challenge since last summer.
Good luck Thurbert!! We'll be with you 100%.
