| Description | BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Gov. Bob Riley said Saturday he will seek re-election, setting up a hotly contested Republican primary against ousted Chief Justice Roy Moore.
Moore, who gained national attention for his legal fight to display the Ten Commandments in his courtroom, announced his plans to run Monday.
Riley began his campaign at a 61st birthday party. He did not mention Moore by name, but did address the issue of God and government.
“Some say they can no longer acknowledge God in government. I think that’s sad. Because I acknowledge him every day — in speeches, in the office, in meetings, schools and churches. We can all do that every day in the way we live our lives,” Riley said.
Riley’s announcement “presents a clear choice for the future,” Moore said. “We must return Alabama to the people and take away power from the special interests that continue to control the state.” |
