Description | Former Democratic congressman Mike Ross will run for governor of Arkansas next year, two Democrats familiar with his decision have confirmed. Ross’s decision is a boon to Democrats’ chances of holding onto an open office Republicans have been eagerly pursuing.
Ross, a moderate Democrat who represented the state’s 4th congressional district before opting against reelection in 2012, is a blue-chip candidate in the open race for term-limited Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe’s job. It once looked as though Ross wouldn’t mount a gubernatorial bid, but in recent weeks Democrats have been increasingly confident he would run. |
