The Contenders
The word on the street is that State Senator Theresa Lubbers will step down if she is appointed the State’s new Higher Education Commissioner.
Should she step down the two front runners for her job, based on my numerous conversations at a legislative cookout at the State Fairgrounds tonight, are Ann Shane and City-County Councilor Ryan Vaughn.
I called Vaughn tonight who declined to comment out of deference to Lubbers. However he said if he did run, he would resign from his position at Barnes and Thornburg.
