Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) Catches a Break
For some time there has been talk of popular North Dakota Governor John Hoeven (R) challenging three-term Democratic Senator Kent Conrad, which would have made for one of the races of 2006. But as the Associated Press reports, such a race is not to be.
Republican Gov. John Hoeven, who was considered the GOP's strongest candidate to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Kent Conrad, announced Friday he would not enter the 2006 Senate race.The Democrats' attempt at retaking the Senate just got slightly easier.
The two-term governor said he and his wife decided against a Senate bid earlier this week to give the GOP time to recruit another candidate.
"We're very focused on serving as governor and first lady, and we think the state is making real progress," Hoeven said.
