PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Two more former prosecutors have announced they’re running against Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams.

Philly.com (https://bit.ly/2iLxocs ) reports Beth Grossman and Michael Untermeyer announced their candidacies on Monday.

Grossman spent 21 years in the DA’s office before leaving for private practice two years ago and plans to run as a Republican. Michael Untermeyer, another former city prosecutor, ran against Williams as a Republican in 2009 and lost. Untermeyer says he’ll run in the Democratic primary this time.



Another former prosecutor under William, Joe Khan, had previously announced his candidacy. Former Philadelphia Managing Director Rich Negrin and Municipal Court Judge Teresa Carr Deni are also running against Williams.

Williams is running for a third term despite an ongoing federal investigation of his personal and political finances.
