Albany- Some Albany Ministers are using their influence to try to make a change in the Dougherty District Attorney's office.

Wednesday, a group of preachers endorsed district attorney candidate Ingrid Driskell-Polite. The ministers say they often have more contact with voters than anyone.

Polite is challenging incumbent Ken Hodges in the Democratic primary.
