"I believe that God is leading me to uphold the
laws in Alabama and guide its policies," Moore
said in an interview after he announced his
candidacy.
Moore, 58, is attempting to wrest the state's top
job from Bob Riley, a pro-business Republican who
has seen his popularity drop since 2003, when his
tax-restructuring plan was rejected by voters in
the conservative state.
Riley is expected to announce his re-election bid
later this week, setting up a showdown with Moore
in the June 6 primary.
Elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme
Court in 2000, Moore rose to national prominence
in 2003 when he refused to remove a Ten
Commandments display from a public area in the
state judiciary building in Montgomery.
U.S. District Court Judge Myron Thompson had
ruled that the 5,000-pound (2.3-ton) stone
marker, installed by Moore and his supporters in
2001, violated the constitutional ban on
government promotion of religion.
Moore contended the order was unlawful because it
countermanded his constitutional obligation to
acknowledge God.
