Bob Graham Won't Seek Senate Re-Election

Sen. Bob Graham, who ended his bid for the Democratic nomination for president last month, announced Monday that he will not seek re-election to a fourth term in the U.S. Senate.

"This has been a very difficult decision for me and my family and I know for some of you it has been a disappointment," Graham said. But he added, "This is not the end."

Four Democrats — U.S. Reps. Peter Deutsch and Alcee Hastings, Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas and former state Education Commissioner Betty Castor — had declared for Graham's Senate seat but said they wouldn't challenge Graham if he sought re-election.


The field of Republicans seeking the seat include state House Speaker Johnnie Byrd, former U.S. Rep. Bill McCollum, legal activist Larry Klayman and state Sen. Dan Webster.
