ILLINOIS SENATOR BURRIS DECIDES NOT TO RUN IN NEXT ELECTION

July 9, 2009

Illinois Senator Roland Burris is expected to announce tomorrow that he will not run in the next election to in an effort to formally retain the seat he was appointed to by former Governor Blagojevich. The appointment raised the ire of Congressional Democrats at the time. However, it seems he may have made a deal with the Democratic caucus to retain his seat throughout his current term without further hassle from the Dems if he agreed not to run.
