Konopnicki Stands Down

Bill Konopnicki will run for a fourth term in his state legislative seat. By implication, he won’t be running for Congress in CD 1.

Bill’s ability to self-finance (he made a pile off fast food) and his strong political base in CD 1 would have been great assets to the troubled effort to hold on to the district of indicted GOP Rep. Dick Renzi for Republicans.

Looks like Bill has allowed prudence to overcome ambition and decided that it’s just not the GOP’s year. Good call, Bill.
