November Surprises
Despite rumors that he would retire, Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) told National Journal that he plans to run for re-election in 2016.
“Democrats are angling for a top-tier recruit in 2016, hopeful that former Charlotte Mayor and current Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx might decide to run. With access to the president’s political network, North Carolina Democrats think they could give Burr a robust challenge. But Burr says Foxx told him he’s ruled out running.”
