After giving us all a scare last week, Dennis Moore, the only remaining Democrat in Kansas’ congressional delegation, says that he’ll run for another term in 2010:
Rep. Dennis Moore said he plans to run for re-election in 2010, ruling out a possible open-seat Senate bid. Sen. Sam Brownback (R) is retiring and will likely run for governor.
“I am honored to be serving the people of the third district and have every intention of continuing my work in Congress on their behalf,” Moore said in a statement released Monday. Additionally, an aide confirmed that the Congressman will not run for Senate.
The timing of this announcement might raise suggestions that Moore has decided to leave the open Senate race to Kathleen Sebelius, who recently withdrew her name from consideration for a job in Obama’s cabinet. (But that’s assuming he was even interested in the gig in the first place.) Time will tell.
Moore was questionable, now he’s back on for 2010, conviniently after Sebelius plans on filling her full term for governor… ahh…
He’s likely going to be redistricted out for 2012, unless
the Dems find a way to hold the governor’s chair?
How does redistricting go in Kansas?
Moore is a surprisingly loyal party guy for someone representing such a conservative district. Glad he’s staying put. He is probably too liberal to win statewide anyway. Hopefully Sebelius takes a crack at that one.
Kansas Democrats already have enough on their plate for 2010. I wonder if Boyda is interested in a rematch, and whether that would be our best bet of winning the district back.
and vice versa to a less important degree.
