LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former congressman Asa Hutchinson says he's not running for his old House seat in northwest Arkansas.
Hutchinson announced Monday that he does not plan to run for the Republican nomination for the 3rd district seat in northwest Arkansas. Republican Congressman John Boozman announced Saturday he would not run for re-election and is running for the GOP Senate nomination.
Boozman was elected to the House seat after Hutchinson resigned in 2001 to take a post with the George W. Bush administration.
Hutchinson was the Republican Party's nominee for governor in 2006. He lost the general election to Democrat Mike Beebe.
