Long-serving Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine revealed yesterday that he is planning to run for governor of the state.

Mr. Oxendine said today he let news outlets know of his decision to end rumors he was preparing a campaign that began circulating after he held discussions with various individuals and began building a list of supporters.

The commissioner, who won election to his insurance position in 1994, would seek the Republican nomination for the post being vacated by fellow Republican Sonny Perdue, who has finished his two-term limit.
