Third Judicial District Attorney John Belton has suspended his campaign for Louisiana attorney general.
In a statement released this morning, Belton said another possible opportunity has presented itself for him “to be of service to my state.” He said he was not at liberty to elaborate.
The second-term DA was one of the four people running for attorney general in this fall’s election.
