Despite challenging an incumbent U.S. representative twice in the past, Dave Magnum will not seek a seat in Congress this fall.
Magnum challenged U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, in 2004 and 2006, garnering 37 percent of the vote each time.
“While I am grateful for all the calls of encouragement, I won’t be a candidate in ‘08,” Magnum said in a statement. “Since the last campaign I’ve added more radio stations to my group and I need to concentrate on getting them up to speed.”
Magnum, however, did not rule out running again in the future.
“I appreciate the folks who believe I’d make a good public servant, and I do hope to prove them right one day,” he said.
Magnum is owner of a Wisconsin radio and television group.
