Sen. Glenn retirement opens speculation on Senate bid by Health Subcmte. ranking Dem. Brown (D-Ohio).
Executive Summary
SEN. GLENN RETIREMENT OPENS SPACE FOR SENATE BID BY REP. BROWN, the new ranking Democrat on the House Commerce/Health & Environment Subcommittee. Brown has been suggested as one Ohio Democrat who could consider seeking the nomination to succeed Glenn in 1998. If he undertakes a Senate bid, Brown could be constricted in his ability to invest time and energy in broad, FDA-related issues. Brown's office says that he has no plans to run for the Senate. Reps. Kaptur and Traficant are also considered possible contenders for the Democratic Senate nomination in Ohio.
