It’s official – Republican attorney Royal Alexander is in
the race to replace Democrat Attorney General Charlie Foti in Louisiana.  Let
the good times roll.

SHREVEPORT, LA — (MARKET WIRE) —
April 19, 2007 — Shreveport native and attorney Royal Alexander officially
announced his candidacy today for the Louisiana Attorney General position
currently held by Democrat Charles Foti of New Orleans. Alexander, a
forty-year-old Republican, has most recently served as Chief of Staff to United
States Congressman Rodney Alexander.

"In this critical time,
Louisiana needs an Attorney General who is interested in enforcing the law, not
playing politics," said Alexander. "I believe now is the time for
Louisiana to chart a new course, a course away from the 'good old boy' politics
of the past and toward fresh energetic leadership rooted in sound legal principle,"
added Alexander.

Alexander will focus his first term
on re-inventing the Attorney General's office after years of missteps and
mistakes in its efforts.
