Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael N. Herring often is mentioned as a potential contender for other offices.

Last year, for example, he was considered a possible candidate for Richmond mayor until he denied any interest.

So far, he has been content to be the city’s top prosecutor.

Once again, he is seeking a new four-year term as commonwealth’s attorney and, as has been the case in the past two elections, he is unopposed.

First elected in 2005, the Richmond native is on a glide path to his fourth term.
