SELMA, Ala. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Artur Davis says he's looking very
seriously at running for governor of Alabama in two years.
Davis is a Democrat from Birmingham. He made the comments to the
Selma Times Journal Tuesday while visiting his district office in
Selma.
Davis said he is working to see if he has the support and if he
can raise the money needed to mount a statewide race for governor.
If elected, Davis would become the state's first black governor.
Davis said 2010 is the ideal time for him to enter the
governor's race. He said one reason is that for the first time
since 1986, an incumbent governor will not be on the ballot.
