Parnell to Announce Plans

Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell (R) will announce his plans for 2014 on Friday, the AP reports.

“He could seek re-election. Parnell inherited the governor’s office when Sarah Palin resigned in 2009 and won it in his own right in 2010. But he’s also been mentioned as a possible challenger to Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich.”
