XENIA, Ohio -- Former U.S. Senator Mike DeWine says he plans to run for Ohio attorney general.
The 62-year-old Republican told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he believes he can make a difference as attorney general and would be nonpartisan.
DeWine planned to make the formal announcement later at the Greene County Courthouse in Xenia, where he once served as county prosecutor.
DeWine lost his bid for a third U.S. Senate term in 2006 to Democrat Sherrod Brown.
Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost already has announced plans to seek the GOP's nomination for attorney general. Incumbent Richard Cordray, a Democrat, has said he plans to seek re-election.
