Haggerty enters race for US Senate

Politics1.com is reporting that Green Party member Bern Haggerty has entered the 2006 race for US Senate against Maria Cantwell. Haggerty ran for lieutenant governor in 2004 and came in fourth of four candidates, drawing 2.76% of the statewide vote. In the absence of the voter-approved Top Two primary, Haggerty could play a Ruth Bennett-like role in a potential general election matchup if the presumed Cantwell-McGavick race is going to be as entertaining as many expect.
