MONROE - Sen. Jon Erpenbach wouldn't rule out a run for governor Monday morning, moments after Gov. Jim Doyle announced he won't seek a third term in 2010.
Erpenbach, D-Waunakee, serves the 27th Senate District, which includes Green County. He has been mentioned as a possible Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate if Doyle didn't run again.
On Monday, Erpenbach said a gubernatorial run "is something I'm looking at."
"People have talked with me about it," Erpenbach told the Times. He said he's not setting a deadline for making his decision.
