Feingold Seeks Return to Senate

Former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) announced that he will run to reclaim the U.S. Senate seat he lost five years ago to Ron Johnson (R), “fulfilling the hopes of Democrats who have been pushing for the liberal to return to the political arena,” the AP reports.

In the video announcement filmed inside his home near Madison, Feingold said his “desire to serve is stronger than ever” and that he wants to fight to “bring back to the U.S. Senate strong independence, bipartisanship and honesty.”
