Barrow Will Not Make Senate Bid in Georgia

Rep. John Barrow (D-GA) announced that he will not run for Senate, “leaving Democrats without a top candidate for now in the party’s best pickup opportunity in 2014,” Roll Call reports.

“Several other Democrats have been named as potential candidates. They include Michelle Nunn, the daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn; former DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones, who ran in 2008; state Rep. Scott Holcomb; Rep. Sanford D. Bishop Jr.; and former Attorney General Thurbert Baker, who ran for governor in 2010.”
