Sump to retire, one candidate already declared

A recent post at Ridenbaugh Press states that GOP Rep. Bob Sump will be retiring, opening up a seat in the safe-GOP 7th district. Sue Lani Madsen has already declared her intent to run, though there will likely be several others in what I hope will turn into a tight, multi-candidate race for this safe seat. Madsen ran for the House in 2004, but lost to current Rep. Joel Kretz.
