The race to be the state’s top prosecutor is heating up. The primary for attorney general was one of the closest in the state, forcing a Republican runoff next Tuesday. ABC Columbia News has more on the two men battling it out to be the GOP nominee.

Alan Wilson has worked as an assistant solicitor and an assistant attorney general. Now he wants to lead the A.G.’s office, saying he has courtroom experience that his opponent lacks. Wilson says, “We need a prosecutor to be the state’s chief prosecutor. My opponent has no prosecutorial experience. He has no law enforcement experience.”

Leighton Lord, a 21 year private practice veteran, says executive experience is more important. He says running the second largest law firm in the state gives him an edge over Wilson. Lord says, “The private sector is the meritocracy. The private sector is where you learn to run things. I don’t see on his resume where he’s ever run anything.” Wilson, a combat veteran, says he has led soldiers and he can lead lawyers.
