Kilroy Will Run For Congress

It’s not really a huge surprise, but Mary Jo Kilroy announced her intention to run for Congress again next year in an email today.

“I have exciting news to share. I plan to seek the Democratic nomination for the new congressional seat in Franklin County, Ohio. I am running because our community needs a strong voice in Washington, who will remain focused on jobs, and will work to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security from Republicans.”

I am a little surprised to see this announcement when the redistricting war is starting to heat up though.

What do you all think about it? Should she have waited until some of the dust settled, or do you think she can't afford to wait?
