It's not clear if Green has an opponent in the race. Filing for the election in August opens on February 25.
"The citizens of Cole County deserve a Judge who has experience in the cases that are heard in Circuit Court and I am that person," Green, a Republican, said in a statement.
Cole County serves a unique role in state politics, as the designated court for legal matters involving the state government.
