Senator Hagel Waiting to Announce His Decision

Senator Hagel has said that he won't announce his plans for 2008 until later this month, be that running for President, running for reelection in the Senate, or moving onto something else.

Omaha KMTV Ch. 3's Thursday 6 P.M. News reporter Joe Jordan reported that while Chuck Hagel won't reveal his Presidential plans until January 2007 at the earliest, two Hagel insiders said Hagel:

1) will NOT run for President

2) and will NOT run for re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Obviously, this would not be good news for us; hopefully it is not accurate. Please email Chuck Hagel or contact his Senate office and encourage him to run.
