Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) announced Monday that he has decided against a run for governor next year, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The announcement “came as shock to Republican insiders and some who are close to him, who had said they expected him to enter the race.”
“If he had entered the race, Kennedy would have joined the field as the Republican candidate with the strongest name recognition among voters, most potential for raising campaign money and longest history in state government.”
