No Moore?
Sources close to Rep. Dennis Moore (KS-03) say he will not run for re-election in '10. It's unclear if he will launch a SEN bid instead; Sen. Sam Brownback (R) is stepping down and is expected to run for GOV.
Via a spokeswoman, Moore said today: "I am honored to be serving the people of the Third District and have every intention of continuing my work in Congress on their behalf."
The district will likely be a tough one for Dems to hold. Even though Moore won re-election with 56%, John McCain carried Johnson Co., which makes up three-quarters of the district, with 54%.
Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that Rep. Nancy Boyda, the freshman Dem from KS-02, was one of the few member of her party to fall this cycle.
Moore, a former Johnson Co. DA and Army reservist, was re-elected in November to his sixth term.
