Four years after considering a potential U.S. Senate bid, former longtime Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe leader Ralph Baxter Jr. is pondering running on the Democratic ticket for a West Virginia seat in Congress.
The Wheeling News-Register reported Saturday that Baxter could challenge Rep. David McKinley, a Republican who since 2011 has held the seat for West Virginia's first congressional district. McKinley is up for reelection in 2018, but Baxter has not yet decided if he will challenge him, according to the News-Register.
“I'm hearing a lot of frustrations from people about the economy, and how broken Washington is,” Baxter said, according to the newspaper. “I'm considering it.”
