NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery conveyed he doesn't want another term at the top of the state's legal helm.
Slatery's office confirmed his intentions Tuesday night to NewsChannel 5.
"Words are inadequate to express the honor I have had to be the Attorney General and Reporter for our great state. Similarly, I am unable to express the extent of my gratitude for the trust the court showed in appointing me," Slatery said in a letter to the court announcing his decision.
The Knoxville native was appointed by the Supreme Court in 2014 for the position.
Prior to his appointment, Slatery served as counsel to Gov. Bill Haslam starting in 2011.
His degrees come from the University of Virginia and the University of Tennessee.
His term ends this year.
