RALEIGH - Representative Brad Miller is expected to announce this morning he will not run for Congress now that he is is in the same Congressional district as Rep. David David Price.
“My only two options are to run in a primary with David Price or not to run," Miller told McClatchy newspapers. "I have talked to a lot of friends who have supported David and me. Some would support David. And some would support me. But none of them want to see a primary between us."
Miller planned to hold a press conference this morning to announce and discuss his decision.
The Republican-led legislature redrew the Triangle's districts this summer, turning the 13th into a strongly Republican district and making the 4th District, which Price represents, a Democratic stronghold.
Miller, 58, has been in Congress since since 2002. Miller said he didn't think he would return to Congress. |
