A new KY-3 update

David Hale informed both the DCCC and Bluegrass Report that he will not be a candidate.
After thinking seriously about it for several weeks, David informed the DCCC this afternoon that he would not run, as he had too much on his plate, professionally, at this time, but was nonetheless surprised and flattered by the recruitment effort of many.

While I thought it was inappropriate for me to discuss at the time, it was David who had met with the DCCC the day after Andrew Horne publicly declared his candidacy. Despite that announcement, the DCCC strongly encouraged David to jump into the race and made several follow-up calls to him in the subsequent weeks reinforcing their interest. It was clear that they had not settled on any one candidate to support.
Time to update the rumor mill with the latest update.
