Several others beat me to it while I was having connection problems last night, but Paul Pate says no:
Pate — who served as secretary of state for four years, state senator for six years and, most recently, as Cedar Rapids mayor for four years — said ‘‘family responsibilities at this time’’ would not permit him to seek a return to state office.
Family responsibilities, the all-purpose excuse.... Seems odd because Pate was so gung ho just a couple days ago. The guy who's really screwed is primary loser Bob Dopf who first expressed interest, then bailed and endorsed Pate.
Speculation now seems to be centering on congressional primary loser Bill Dix. Mike Mauro, meanwhile, thinks he wants the desk over in that corner rather than this corner.
