PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s new acting U.S. attorney says he’s going to apply for the permanent job.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler (SY’-ler) takes over leadership of the office on Wednesday from Brendan Johnson, who stepped down for a job in private practice.

Seiler will be in charge of the office until the Senate appoints a new U.S. attorney and says he plans to formally apply and seek the nomination.

He says he and Johnson already have reached out to the state’s congressional delegation.

Seiler has worked at the federal office in Pierre since 1995 and is also a member of the Fort Pierre City Council.

He graduated from the University of South Dakota School of Law in Vermillion and worked in private practice in Mobridge before becoming a prosecutor.
