Ex-president Carter's son running for Senate

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Jack Carter, the son of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, said on Friday that he was running to become a U.S. senator from Nevada and would make a formal announcement next month.

"I'm disturbed by the Bush administration policies," Carter told Reuters in explaining his decision to enter politics at age 58. "I don't like the partisan bickering."

Still bearing his family's trademark Georgia accent, Carter said he moved to Nevada a little more than three years ago.

...

Carter hopes to unseat Nevada's junior senator John Ensign, a Republican. The state's senior senator, Democrat Harry Reid, is the Senate minority leader.
