Card says he is considering run for Kennedy’s seat

NEWTON, Mass. — Former Bush White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card says he is “thinking very seriously” about running for the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s vacant Senate seat.

Card said Wednesday that he will announce his final decision in the next three to four days.

Card served in the White House under George W. Bush, as well as Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush.

He said his stint in the White House would both help and hurt him with voters if he decided to run in the heavily Democratic Massachusetts.

Card said he did not always agree with the decisions of President George W. Bush, but he respected how he made those decisions.

Card is a native of Holbrook, Mass.
