Looks like the Dems are going to try to keep it all in the family in the open seat R+3 3rd:
Democratic sources this afternoon tell Prime Buzz that Stephene Moore, wife of the six-term Democratic congressman, will run to succeed her husband this year.
Democrats recently polled the district. The result? "Basically a coin flip," the source said.
This entry has to be considered good news, in a race that had seemed to be slipping away from the Dems. While I'd expect the DCCC would rather be touting Kansas City, Kansas mayor Joe Reardon (or his predecessor Carol Marinovich, both of whom they pursued), Stephene Moore, who's never been a candidate before, certainly benefits from sharing a last name with the outgoing Congressman, as well as easy access to all the names in her husband's fundraising database. There's no word on when the formal announcement will take place.
