A Republican state senator from Tulsa says he plans to run for Tulsa County district attorney in 2014.

Sen. Brian Crain said he filed campaign documents on Wednesday with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission indicating his plans to seek the post.

An attorney with the Tulsa firm Hanson & Holmes, Crain worked in the Tulsa County district attorney’s office from 1996 to 1998 before entering private practice.
