Washington Post: Steelman still considering Senate run

Despite an article in the Washington political newspaper, The Hill, which claimed she had almost forsaken thoughts of running for the U. S. Senate to try for the Seventh District Congressional seat, former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman told Washington Post reporter Chris Cillizza she is still considering a run for the Senate:

"I have not ruled out a run for U.S. Senate," Steelman wrote, pushing back against an article in The Hill newspaper that suggested she was all but out and considering a run for the seat being vacated by Rep. Roy Blunt (R) who is running for the Senate. Steelman, however, has yet to file official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to form an exploratory committee; she said that she postponed the exploratory while waiting to see what Thomas Schweich, a law professor at Washington University, would do. Schweich dropped from the race and endorsed Blunt last week.
