Former Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack, wife of former Gov. Tom Vilsack, now says she’s considering a run for Senate in 2010 against Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley.
“I think I’m qualified to serve, so time will tell.” Vilsack told WHO-TV, the central Iowa NBC station.
“You know, I’ve spent the last 12 years traveling around the state, developing a relationship with the people of Iowa,” she explained, “and I just really appreciate the fact that people have been so supportive in suggesting this. But, as I said, time will tell.”
Grassley was first elected in the 1980 Reagan landslide, and has been re-elected by comfortable margins ever since, winning 70% of the vote in 2004.
