Many Republicans have placed first-term U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Bowling Green, near or at the top of their short list of potential 2011 candidates to try to spoil Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear’s re-election bid.
A former state senator, Guthrie knows Frankfort, is well-liked and comes from a background that includes a West Point education and helping run a family business in the manufacturing industry. Plus, he wouldn’t have to give up his House seat that’s up for election during even years if he lost.
But Guthrie told cn|2 Politics Saturday that it’s not going to happen.
“My name won’t be on the gubernatorial ballot in 2011,” he said, adding that he didn’t have a pick yet for which Republican he’d like to see run. “I need to see who all puts their names out. But, no, it won’t be me.”
