Former CIA officer Valerie Plame says she is considering a potential run for Senate in New Mexico as a Democrat to replace retiring Sen. Tom Udall (D).
Plame, who was famously outed as an undercover CIA operative by Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, told The Hill on Saturday she was "considering all of her options" after The Washington Examiner reported Friday that she was planning a run for Senate.
"I am considering all my options," the former CIA officer said. "I am grateful for the opportunity to perhaps serve my country again."
Udall, a two-term senator, announced Monday that he would not seek reelection in 2020.
“I’m confident that we could run a strong campaign next year to earn a third term, because of all the work you and I have done together, along with my wife, Jill, and my incredibly dedicated staff," Udall said this week
