Ashcroft Says He Has Not Settled on His Political Future

(MISSOURINET) –  A prominent Missouri Republican who decided against running for his party’s nomination for US Senate says he has not settled on his political future. Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft says he decided against a run for U.S. Senate after prayerful consideration combined with his dislike for Washington, D.C. As for whether he would run for governor, Ashcroft says he has not decided, yet. . .

Ashcroft, the son of former governor and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, says a prominent factor in deciding to run for an office is the belief he can bring something to the office somebody else cannot.
