Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson is preparing to run for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Russ Feingold, according to several sources familiar with Thompson’s thinking. Thompson has spent the past several weeks taking the steps any candidate must take in order to run for office — he’s evaluating staff, he’s talking to fundraisers, and he’s separating himself from his business interests.
Late last week, Thompson resigned from the Board of Directors of CNS Response, Inc., a health care data company. Thompson said the resignation was for personal reasons. A statement from Thompson, who has agreed to become chairman of the CNS Response advisory board, read: “I have nothing but the highest respect for the management and Board of CNS Response, and look forward to helping them advance this important medical technology.”
