Reporter Bob Geary of IndyWeek.com reports that Brad Miller is thinking about running for Governor in North Carolina. You can read about it here. This is great news!
After Brad Miller announced his retirement on Thursday, January 26th, Governor Perdue announced that she would not seek reelection to the Governor's office in North Carolina. These separate events were reported at Daily Kos here and here.
David Nir posted the following in a diary upon learning about Brad Miller's decision to not seek re-election to Congress:
Miller was a strong progressive voice on Capitol Hill and has long been a good friend to the netroots community. Indeed, he's been a member of Daily Kos for over half a decade and has been a regular participant here. (Rare among elected officials, he's been known to participate in diaries posted by folks other than himself.) I have gotten the chance to know Miller personally and have met him on many occasions. He's one of those truly good guys you wish there were many more of in Congress, and it's a sad day indeed to know he won't be there come next year.
