From the Berkshire Eagle:
Republican James McKenna says he wants to replace Democrat Martha Coakley as attorney general to “restore public trust” in the office and not because she may be perceived as vulnerable having lost to Republican Scott Brown in the special election for U.S. Senate in January.
“We are not focusing on her past campaign,” McKenna said. “This is a completely different race.”
McKenna said Coakley should be voted out of office, in part, because she’s failed to deal with corruption within state government.
“We need to restore public trust in our elected officials,” he said. “As of Jan. 1 [if elected], we will have a public corruption task force that will go after Democrats, Republicans and Independents.”
