| Description | That was fast.
Former Rep. Brad Carson (D-Okla.) put the kibosh on a bid for his former House seat Wednesday — just three weeks after he announced he would again run for it.
Carson cited personal reasons, including his 5-year-old son, as his rationale against running.
“Lots of people have encouraged me, the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] and others,” Carson told Roll Call in a phone interview. “But after thinking about it, and despite the encouragement, it’s just not something that I want to do again.”
Rep. Dan Boren (D-Okla.) unexpectedly announced June 7 that he will leave Congress after his fourth term ends. On the same day, Carson announced he would seek Boren’s seat in the 2nd district. |
