Former Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-NE) released this statement Wednesday announcing that he is running again for the Senate, after he had previously said three weeks ago that he would not run in the open race:
Doing things the conventional way has never been my strong suit. This afternoon, I will file to become a candidate for the United States Senate in Nebraska. I came to realize that my previous decision was the easy one, not the right one. My commitment to serve Nebraska and America, and to be part of the debate about the challenges we face was too strong to dismiss. My family supports this decision 100%. I look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks. We have a lot of work to do.
