FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Lexington attorney Gatewood Galbraith has
filed a letter of intent with the state saying he intends to run
for governor in 2011.

Galbraith, a perennial gubernatorial candidate, filed the letter
with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance earlier this week.
He is the first potential gubernatorial candidate to do so. He
lists his party affiliation as an independent.

His running mate, according to the letter, will be Dea Riley, an
independent political strategist with an office in Frankfort.

The race would be Galbraith's fifth for governor.
