OMAHA, Neb. — Hal Daub, a former Republican member of Congress and mayor of Omaha, announced about a month ago that he was considering running for the Nebraska Senate seat up for election in 2008.
Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) currently holds the seat and is toying with the idea of running for president, but has not made an announcement either way yet. According to Daub, the senator's decision will not be much of a factor in his. Hagel was one of just six senators to vote against H.R. 1151, the Credit Union Membership Access Act.
Of possibly running against the incumbent, Daub pointed out that he has lost elections before. "I didn't like losing but the fact is you can't win if you don't get up to bat and get involved. So I will pay much less attention to who my competitors are and much more attention to the public policy dimension of it," he stated.
