Republican Kevin Nicholson is passing on a chance to run for Congress next year because he wants to lay the groundwork for a statewide run for either governor or U.S. Senate in 2022.
Nicholson endorsed Republican Scott Fitzgerald in the fifth congressional district race. Fitzgerald is the majority leader in the state Senate, and he’s currently the only announced candidate.
Nicholson ran for U.S. Senate last year, but he lost in the primary.
