William “Bill” Noakes, a longtime public defender and professor, announced Tuesday he is running for Michigan attorney general, positioning himself as the only Democrat in the race who has never been a prosecutor and could become the first Black person to hold the office.⁠
⁠
In his campaign launch, Noakes cast himself as a defender of democratic values, invoking President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech and warning those rights are being eroded under President Donald Trump.⁠
⁠
“I’ve never looked for a fight, but I certainly have never turned away from one,” he said.⁠
