Joseph Siegelman, son of former Gov. Don Siegelman, has qualified to run for attorney general on the Democratic ticket. It’s an office in which his father served for a term on his rise to the governor’s mansion. Don Siegelman was convicted on felony corruption charges along with HealthSouth founder Richard Scrushy. He appealed his conviction and alleged his was a political prosecution, but he did not get his case overturned. He was released from prison one year ago. Joseph Siegelman will face lawyer Chris Christie in the Democratic primary.
