PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Keven A. McKenna announced Tuesday that he is seeking election as state attorney general.

The former legislator, municipal court judge and assistant attorney general reported that he filed declaration papers for the post.

"I have the most experience for the job," McKenna, a Westerly resident, said in a news release. "And, I know where the bodies are buried. And I will not be intimidated by anyone."

He said that if elected he would seek, among other goals, to replace the state Traffic Tribunal with municipal courts and replace the Workers Compensation Court with part-time hearing officers.
