District Attorney Steve Cooley today announced the creation of a committee to let him start raising money to go after the Republican nomination for state attorney general. "Many people from law enforcement and throughout the political spectrum are urging me to run," he says in a statement. As a career prosecutor and District Attorney of Los Angeles County I have the experience and drive to be California’s top law enforcement officer.” Here's a piece on Cooley I did for Los Angeles magazine a few years back.
