MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore
has launched a Web site saying he's running for governor.
The Web site went up Monday morning. The Web site invites supporters to sign a pledge to help
elect Moore as "the next governor of Alabama."
Moore has an official announcement planned at noon Monday in
Montgomery.
The announcement coincides with the date that candidates can
begin raising money for next year's elections in Alabama.
Greenville businessman Tim James, state Rep. Robert Bentley of
Tuscaloosa, and former two-year college Chancellor Bradley Byrne
have already announced their campaigns for the GOP nomination.
State Treasurer Kay Ivey expects to kick off her campaign in a few
weeks.
