The New York Times reports that Kathleen Sebelius may be running for Senate from Kansas!
Former Secretary Sebelius is seen as someone who could challenge Kansas’ current Republican Senator Pat Roberts, who at 77 is running for a fourth term. Sibelius may have a special motivation because Mr. Roberts, a longtime family friend, had been an outspoken critic of her at HHS, saying she should resign because of the problems with the roleout of Obamacare.
Democrats have not held a Senate seat in the state since 1939. However, the Times notes that Ms. Sebelius was a popular, twice-elected governor. In 2006, she was re-elected with 58 percent of the vote.
June 2 is the deadline for filing for the Senate primary in Kansas.
