Democratic state Sen. Quinton Ross of Montgomery is seeking re-election after not being selected president of Alabama State University.
Ross was one of three finalists interviewed by the Alabama State trustees Friday, but they chose Gwendolyn Boyd from John Hopkins University.
Shortly after the selection, Ross announced he will run for a fourth term next year. Ross said he was thankful to be nominated to the Alabama State position, but he looks forward to continuing to represent his Montgomery County constituents.
Ross is director of the adult education division at Trenholm State Technical College in Montgomery.
