Duncan-Roit Won't Run For Senate

KLN Congresswoman won't seek CNS nomination

KIRKENELLY, KLN--Kalnier Congresswoman Kimberley Duncan-Roit will not run for the Senate, she announced today.

Duncan-Roit, who represents the 1st congressional district of Kalnier in the southeast corner of the state, was rumored to be considering a challenge to NAT Senator Mark Carr, who has suffered huge drops in approval and poll numbers. However, today on the GBC, Rep. Duncan-Roit revealed she will not run for the senate.

"After lots of thought and consideration, I've come to the realization that running for the senate at this point in my life and my career is just not in the best interest of myself, my family, or my constituents," Duncan-Roit told GBC news personality Tom Arnhem.

Duncan-Roit's decision virtually clears the way for Conservative Rep. Samuel Tracy, who has already announced his candidacy for the senate. Tracy, who represents the 9th district, which encompasses central and western Kalnier, is widely believed to be the strongest CNS candidate to go up against Carr. Duncan-Roit was seen as one of the only other viable CNS candidates to challenge Carr.

Rep. Tracy's office did not comment on Duncan-Roit's announcement. The state CNS party told GNN it respects Representative Duncan-Roit's decision, and will now focus on supporting Mr. Tracy's candidacy.
