WASHINGTON, DC (KFGO) – With Republicans lining up to challenge him next year, Congressman Collin Peterson says he’s still deciding whether he’ll run for another term. The Democrat is 75 and was first elected to the US House in 1991.
“I will decide when I normally do in January and February, but I’ve been doing all the things that you know that I normally do, been to 40 some parades, so I always wait, I don’t want this campaign to start to quick, Republicans have got five people running against each other, they got their own problems to sort out. I think there is one of the candidates that’s kind of been anointed by the leadership, my sense of the other candidates, they’re not going to give up,” Peterson said.
Peterson, appearing on KFGO News and Views, also said he has no regrets about his vote not to push the impeachment process along. “Support for the impeachment has slipped in the last week so you know it’s just one of those things that just don’t, I don’t see this as coming together in a bipartisan way, I think the last thing we need is something like this to further divide the country, I’ve never seen the country divided the way it is right now,” Peterson said. “I don’t see why we’re doing this,” he continued.
