Peterson Will Not Run For Congress

From Jim Shella’s blog:

The long list of politicians considering a run to fill the vacancy in the 7th Congressional District created by Julia Carson’s death are all silent during this period of mourning.

Bart Peterson is not.

Peterson ruled out a 7th District candidacy in an interview with News 8’s Eric Halvorson today.  “That’s not something I wanna do,” said the outgoing Mayor, “That’s not a job I’ve had a real strong passion to do.”

Peterson added that no one could ever twist his arm to get him to run for the office.  You can catch his comments tonight on 24 Hour News 8 at 11.

  1. Sounds like the Democrat arm-twisting is in progress.

    So will it be Dr. O? Carolene Mays? Mike “Don’t call me Dennis” Rodman?

  2. Thank God for that one……I see some bloggers are attacking Mayor Elect Ballard and he is not even in office yet…makes me sick to my stomach
