Of course she’s not stepping down: Nancy Pelosi announced today that she will run for Minority Leader in the House next session, thus perpetuating her reign as one of the most powerful Democrats in the country. There was a bit of doubt that she’d stick around, really, this wasn’t terribly unexpected. source

  • $1.3million raised by a Kennedy to replace Barney Frank source

Kennedy III , the Massachusetts Democrats’ challenger to take over Barney Frank’s soon-to-be-empty seat in the House, raised this impressive amount as a first-time contender within the first three months of the year. His GOP challenger, Sean Bielat, raised just over a tenth of that in the same period. Bielat gave Frank a tough challenge in the 2010 race.

Kucinich will run for re-election in newly-drawn district Why’s Dennis Kucinich so happy? Because he’s found a new congressional district! His old Ohio seat was recently redistricted out of existence, but he’s found a potential new home in a redrawn district that includes his home city of Cleveland. There’s just one catch: Rep. Mary Kaptur, who also got the short end of the redistricting stick, wants to run in the same district (that’s the last time we’ll use the word “district” in this post). Kaptur, the longest-serving female Democrat in the house, isn’t looking forward to the primary. “We’re friends,” Kaptur said. “This is hard for us.”  source Follow ShortFormBlog
