After months of speculation, U.S Senator Ron Johnson announced Sunday his intentions to run for a third term.
The Wisconsin Republican explained his reasoning in an opinion published by the Wall Street Journal. He says that as much as he would like to retire, he believes America is in too much peril for him to do so.
Johnson joins John Berman, Brad Beyer and Justin Doty in the race for the Republican nomination. Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, Milwaukee Bucks senior vice president Alex Lasry, and Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson are among the Democrats that have lined up to challenge for the seat held by Johnson since he was first elected in 2010.
