Kirk, who made an unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate in 1982, wrote a letter to DNC members Tuesday saying he would not run, but was endorsing fellow Texan Martin Frost, a former congressman.
"Martin is ... a winning strategist, innovative grassroots organizer and tough, disciplined spokesperson," Kirk said in his letter.
