Roanoke lawyer John Fishwick has taken the first step toward launching a bid for state attorney general and is vowing to be an advocate for the middle class if he wins statewide office.
Fishwick said Wednesday he has formed a campaign committee with an eye toward seeking the Democratic nomination for attorney general in 2009.
Del. Steve Shannon has not officially announced his candidacy yet but has been running for the office since the spring.
Looks like we are headed towards primaries for all three statewide offices.

I have heard that Fishwick is a good trial attorney. I don’t suppose that has too much to do with whether he’d be a good AG.
