State Senator Ogden may take on Chet Edwards

Eye on Williamson says Ogden is not running for re-election for State Senate, and it further states: "We’re also hearing that state Rep. Dan Gattis, Jr. (R-Georgetown) is the hand-picked successor for the Republican nomination to replace him in 2010."

Where will Senator Ogden go? An article in early May on challengers to Chet Edwards gives a hint:

Some Republicans speculate that state Sen. Steve Ogden has higher office aspirations, while his colleague, Sen. Kip Averitt, denied that he will join the fray.

Liberal Chet Edwards will run from his record, but sooner or later it will catch up to him.
