Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is continuing to eye a possible run for Congress in Washington state, after he lost the Democratic primary to fellow Rep. Marcy Kaptur in his home state following the latest round of redistricting.
The Seattle Times reports that Kucinich sent an e-mail Sunday to supporters in Washington, asking them to participate in a survey on whether he should run for one of the state’s three open House seats: “I cannot approach consideration of such an unprecedented step without seeking advice from you, my friends in Washington State, whose help and generosity have enabled me to serve in the US Congress from Ohio.”
Washington Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz is sounding his strong opposition. “Dennis Kucinich has to decide what his legacy is going to be. Will he be remembered as a principled member of Congress or the narcissist who lost two Congressional races in two states the same year?” he told the paper.
