Former U.S. Attorney Sara Beth Myers has announced her campaign for Davidson County district attorney general, becoming DA Glenn Funk’s second challenger, the Nashville Post reports. Myers joins Danielle Nellis, a former prosecutor and judicial clerk, in challenging Funk, who has announced plans to seek a second term. Myers says she was inspired to go into law by her attorney father and into her current line of work through an internship at the DA’s office while in law school at Vanderbilt University. She spent almost four years as an assistant district attorney and two years as an assistant prosecutor in the state attorney general’s office before joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office. She served there for five years focusing mainly on human trafficking and civil rights cases.
