OKLAHOMA CITY, OK -- Oklahoma's Attorney General Drew Edmondson has scheduled three news conferences across the state on Wednesday to discuss his future political plans.

Speculation is Edmondson will announce a run for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 2010.

Current governor, Brad Henry has served two terms. He is barred by state law to run for a third term.

Right now, only three people have announced they are running for governor. Lt. Governor Jari Askins, a Democrat, has announced her intention of running. On the Republican side, U.S. congresswoman Mary Fallin of Oklahoma City and state Senator Randy Brogdon of Owasso have also announced.

The first news conference is 10 a.m. at the state Capitol in Oklahoma City.

At 2 p.m., Edmondson will speak at the Tulsa Press Club in downtown Tulsa and then at 4:30 p.m. Edmondson will hold a news conference on the first floor of the Muskogee County Courthouse.

NewsOn6.com will live stream Drew Edmondson's first news conference Wednesday morning in Oklahoma City.
