I haven't seen this written here so I wanted to share it. Ron Barber was wounded in the attack on Giffords last year. Now he'll run to complete her term.
More below.
Here are the details from CNN:
"The decision really started when Congresswoman Giffords looked right at me and said, 'Ron, will you run?' I told her it was a decision I have to think a lot about, a lot of considerations," Barber said "My family. My own well being in terms of doing this and whether it was right for the district. I've never said no to her in my life, working together five years. But I went away from the conversation and gave it considerable thought, finally I was able to say to her, 'Congresswoman, I will do that. And I'll be proud to run for the seat that you have vacated.'"
Barber served as Giffords' district director during her tenure in Congress. He remained in his role after the shooting, despite his injuries.
In an email to supporters Thursday, Giffords' husband Mark Kelly said he and his wife support Barber in his bid.
I don't think I'd want run against him, do you?
