Yet another federal prosecutor is running for Congress.
Susan Brooks, who served seven years as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, from 2001-2007, is challenging Congressman Dan Burton (R-Ind.) in the Republican primary, the Associated Press reports.
Brooks has also served as a deputy mayor in Indianapolis and is the second challenger that Burton will face in the May primary.
George E. B. Holding, a former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina who gained notice for his decision to prosecute former presidential candidate John Edwards, declared his intent to run for Congress last week.
