Conor Lamb for PA State Attorney General?

The PA Attorney General term which the 2022 Democratic nominee for PA Governor Josh Shapiro currently holds is not up in 2024. Shapiro is favored to become the next Governor of PA. Conor Lamb is unlikely to be the Democratic nominee for the US Senate. Lamb was a former US Attorney before he got elected to the US House of Representative. Lamb is very young, He can use the state Attorney General position as a stepping stone for Governor or US Senator.

If Lamb's new PA-17CD goes Republican, Lamb should run for the PA-17CD in 2024. nkpolitics1212 Apr 2022 #2

although I would have preferred he would keep his Congressional Seat and build his creds from there.
He showed power in winning a seat in a red area and has generally been good with his votes with the Democratic agenda - while always conscious of his 'standing' with his home district.

Bright man - good background - wish him well (but stay out of Fetterman's way!).

the districts over on the western side of the state where Lamb hails from (which lost population) had one of theirs eliminated and it became defacto more competitive in a couple of them (with the State Supreme Court being the one who eventually selected a "Fair Districts"-drawn map that pretty much matches what the State Supreme Court drew in 2018).
