Sources close to Government House confirmed Tuesday night that Gov. Charles W. Turnbull has named former Sen. Iver Stridiron as attorney general.
Stridiron served two terms as a Democratic senator in the 14th and 16th Legislatures.
He was Senate president during his term with the 16th Legislature before being defeated in his bid for re-election.
He has been in private practice since then and has remained active in Democratic Party politics.
