LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Charles Booker, former state representative and U.S. Senate candidate, is "strongly considering" running against Sen. Rand Paul next year.
"I believe our work is not done and we have the ability to tell a new story for Kentucky... I'm excited for what's ahead for us," Booker said while speaking on Kentucky Education Television (KET) Sunday afternoon.
Booker said he and his family expect to make an official decision "really soon."
The Democrat said he's had Kentuckians "almost to the point of tears" asking him to run for office.
"Whatever I'm running for, the fact that I have another little one on the way, I want to make sure I'm taking care of my family," Booker told KET.
Booker unsuccessfully ran to oppose Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the November 2020 election.
