Although Michael Smolens teased it in the Union-Trib on Friday and Brian Jones all but directly said it himself (“thinking about it”) Sunday on KUSI, this morning the Senator made it official.
On KUSI, Jones announced he will run in the 50th Congressional District, where a host of other Republicans are already in or “thinking about it” (that phrase again) for the seat held by Congressman Duncan Hunter.
Jones joins fellow GOPers Sam Abed, Carl DeMaio, Darrell Issa, Matt Rahn, Bill Wells, and Larry Wilske, as well as Hunter on the list of candidates either announced for or contemplating a run.
Can you say Donnybrook?
(A press release has been posted to SD Rostra as well.)
