The Nation - News from Dec. 9, 1988

New Hampshire Gov. John H. Sununu, chosen by President-elect George Bush to serve as White House chief of staff, said in an interview that he is considering running for the U.S. Senate in 1990 or 1992. Sununu told the Boston Globe that since his role as chief of staff will involve helping set domestic policy, and given the large war chest left from his last gubernatorial campaign, he would be attracted to running for the Senate. Incumbent Sen. Gordon J. Humphrey, like Sununu a popular conservative Republican, has said he would leave office after his term ends in 1990, but recently suggested he may seek reelection. Sen. Warren B. Rudman, also a conservative Republican, has given no indication that he would quit when his term ends in 1992.
