(Bismarck, ND) -- North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley is replacing Deputy Attorney General Troy Seibel.

Seibel was a former state labor commissioner before taking the position as the deputy for six years. Seibel says he respects Wrigley's decision to name his own deputy.

Wrigley is hoping to gain the Republican nomination for attorney general at this weekend's GOP convention in Bismarck. He was appointed by Governor Doug Burgum following the late January death of Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem.
