Tennant set to run for Senate in West Virginia
Source: Washington Post
West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant (D) is expected to announce next week that she will run for Senate, according to three people with knowledge of her plans.Tennant is perhaps the last remaining big-name recruit for Democrats, who have struggled to find a standard-bearer for the seat held by retiring Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).She is expected to make her campaign official Tuesday, followed by stops in a few cities across the state.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) is the odds-on favorite on the Republican side.
Tennant, 45, was a businesswoman and TV anchor before being elected as Secretary of State in 2008. Her biography also includes a stint as the West Virginia University's Mountaineer mascot.
