CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Gov.-elect Matt Mead says he will appoint a federal prosecutor and longtime friend to serve as state attorney general.

Mead announced his choice of Greg Phillips to fill Wyoming's top law enforcement post on Monday.

The 50-year-old Phillips has served for the past eight years as a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Cheyenne. Mead was Phillips' boss before Mead stepped down as U.S. Attorney in 2007.

Phillips also has worked as a lawyer for the state and in private practice with Mead in Cheyenne.

Phillips served as a Democratic state senator from Uinta County from 1993 to 1998. He's a graduate of the UW School of Law and worked for two years after graduation for U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson in Cheyenne.
