Rep. Dennis Moore to announce retirement
By Aaron Blake - 11/23/09 08:19 AM ET
Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) is set to announce Monday that he will not
seek reelection next year, sources confirmed to The Hill.
Moore’s exit will pave the way for a tough open seat defense for
Democrats, as the six-term incumbent has resolutely held on to a
conservative-leaning district that has often frustrated Republicans.
Moore, 64, won the seat from one-term Rep. Vince Snowbarger (R-Kan.)
in 1998 and has been a target ever since. Despite his perseverance,
Republicans believed they had an opening again with Democrats pushing
proposals that could be unpopular in the deep red state.
Former state Sen. Nick Jordan, who fell to Moore 56-40 last year but
was seen as a good recruit, is among those already eyeing Moore’s
seat.
The current field includes former state Rep. Patricia Lightner.
Though the district has been seen as strongly conservative and went by
double digits for President Bush, it swung by three points for
President Obama in 2008.
