http://www.onenewsnow.com/Headlines/Default.aspx?id=956984WASHINGTON - Texas Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison has decided to stay in the Senate after losing the primary election for governor.
A senior GOP official and a Senate aide tell the AP that 66-year-old Hutchison will serve out her third term, which ends in 2012. She had previously said she would resign her seat.
The decision, to be announced Wednesday in San Antonio, comes after 20 Texas Republican House members signed a letter last month urging her to stay in the Senate. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn of Texas will be with Hutchison at the news conference.
Hutchison lost the Republican primary race for governor earlier this month to Gov. Rick Perry, who now faces Democrat Bill White in the November general election.
