WASHINGTON â?? Former senator and "Law & Order" TV star Fred Thompson will announce his candidacy for president over the July 4 holiday.

According to a report in The Politico, Thompson told a group of financial backers on Tuesday that he is going to run and had already raised millions of dollars. And he is encouraging more support as he readies his campaign in the crowded field of Republican candidates.

Thompson also is expected in early June to form a "testing the waters" committee, which is one type of precursor organization to an official campaign. He is posturing himself as the more conservative alternative to would-be opponents former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Sen. John McCain, and more steadfast than former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

The Politico reports that a number of staffers to former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush are expected to join Thompson's campaign. And even as an unofficial candidate, Thompson has polled close with Romney. Polls also show that Republicans have not been satisfied with the current field of candidates.
