Rep. Ron Kind ‘taking a look’ at U.S. Senate run

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Kind dipped his toe into Wisconsin’s 2022 Senate race on Friday, telling a WKOW-TV reporter that he will be “taking a look” at running. Kind told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that “No decisions have been made.” Kind, who has represented western Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District since 1997, has often considered running for other office, only to seek reelection to his current post. Numerous Democrats are considering running for Senate in 2022 for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry, Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson and Marshfield radiologist Gillian Battino have all announced their candidacies as Democrats.
