BALTIMORE, MD—Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh on Thursday sent a message to his staff informing them that he will not seek another term as Attorney General:

Message to Staff:

Dear Friends:

I am writing to let you know that after 35 years in public service, I have made the difficult decision not to seek re-election as Attorney General.

My work with you has been the most rewarding, fulfilling and, I believe, productive experience of my professional life. I continue to treasure the opportunity to work with all the talented and dedicated people that make up our great office.

It is more important than ever to remember the words of Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

I still have about 15 months as Attorney General. I intend to make the most of every single moment. I will continue to work with you to provide the best possible legal advice to our clients, to protect Marylanders, to improve their lives and to fight for justice.

Thanks to each and every one of you for your service to our state. I appreciate more than I can ever express, the friendship and support that you have shown me. Let us make the most of the remaining time we have together.

Brian
