Guitierrez Wants Obama's Senate Seat
Gutierrez: I want Obama's Senate seat
November 7, 2008 at 11:53 AM
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez said today he would like to be named to fill the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.
The Illinois Democrat said he has talked a few times with Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the prospect, and said he and the governor will talk more next week.
Under state law, Blagojevich gets to appoint a replacement for Obama.
When asked who approached whom about the subject, Gutierrez shrugged and said: "We talked."
"My priority isn't being in the House or being in the Senate," Gutierrez said. "My priority is immigration reform. Wherever I feel I can be most effective is where I want to be."
