Gov Freudenthal Announces Plans
-
Mar 4, 2010
As you have surely read Governor Freudenthal announced he will not seek another term. He made the announcement today at 10:00 AM and WDP put a statement out soon thereafter. Succinctly, we were greatful for his service and leadership and are sad to see him go.
He thanked Wyoming and indicated he had been leaning in this direction since around Christmas. He also said his children were universally in favor of his decision.
He said for the first time in 17 yrs he has the opportunity to make choices. "Ain't no plan now," he joked.
There was talk about the poll he commissioned late last year, but he indicated that since the polling has not begun the poll will be turned over to the state party.
He also indicated he plans to stay out of the next race and will allow potential candidates to speak for themselves. When asked if he expects to be a candidate for higher office he said he does not expect to be a candidate in 2010, but did not indicate plans beyond that.
