COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A newspaper is reporting that the Ohio Republican Party has selected a former federal prosecutor as its candidate for attorney general in November.

The Columbus Dispatch, citing a source it did not name, reported on its Web site Tuesday that the party has chosen D. Michael Crites, who is now a managing partner of a Columbus law firm.

GOP political director Jason Mauk told The Associated Press that he wouldn’t confirm the report but said the party will have an announcement soon. A message seeking comment was left Tuesday for Crites.

The candidate would face Democratic state Treasurer Richard Cordray in the attorney general race this fall. Democrat Marc Dann resigned from the office in May amid a sexual harassment scandal involving members of his staff.
