Jones Won't Run
Former Gov. Brereton Jones won't seek the Democratic nomination in next year's governor's race, he said Friday. The 67 year old Jones was governor of Kentucky from 1991 through 1995. Jones said in a statement that he had received "strong encouragement" from across the state to again seek state government's top office. Jones' decision adds to the growing list of potential gubernatorial wannabes who have announced they would not run in the 2007 governor's race. Recently, Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson, State Auditor Crit Luallen and U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler have all pulled their names from consideration for the post.
