Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter today said he will not seek a third term in office and will likely bring his career in public service to a close.“I want to look at a number of things in both the private sector and the not-for-profit sector,” Carter, 54, said at a news conference in his office.“I’ve enjoyed my term as attorney general. There have been great opportunities. We have achieved a lot, but I think we can achieve things outside government.”
Carter, a former top aide to then-Lt. Gov. John Mutz and former corporation counsel to Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith, vigorously championed the state’s Do-Not-Call law and enforced it from his office. The AG’s office also pursued claims of gasoline price gouging after the 9/11 terror attacks.
