State Sen. Kay Hagan of Greensboro announced Tuesday that she will seek the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole next year, saying she would be a voice against continuing the war in Iraq.

Hagan, a 54-year-old lawyer, said she would bring a fresh perspective to Washington that would be independent of powerful special interests.

"We need accountability to end the war in Iraq, so we can reinvest those resources here at home," Hagan said in a video announcement on her Web site. "How can Washington reject health care for 123,000 children while continuing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on this mismanaged war?"
