Bucyrus President, CEO and Director Tim Sullivan today acknowledged he's considering a run for U.S. Senate. But he hasn’t publicly expressed a preference for either party.
"I am flattered by the unsolicited support I have received over the past few days by those suggesting I consider running for the Senate seat being vacated by Senator Kohl," Sullivan said. "At this point, I am committed to our shareholders and employees in closing the sale of Bucyrus International. When this deal is consummated in the near future, I will weigh all my options. I have a deep commitment to this community, and I look forward to being involved in the future challenges and opportunities at the local, state, and national level."
In February, Sullivan told WisPolitics that he considered himself an independent. He donated money to both Barrett and Walker in last year's guv's race.
Somehow, I don't think this will work.
