Rice Enters U. S. Senate Race
State Senator Andrew Rice of Oklahoma City announced today that he is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U. S. Senate next year.
Rice has been preparing to run for months; he has a website and has been talking about the race since last winter. He is a freshman member of the Senate and is identified with the liberal wing of the state party. Rice may not be alone in seeking his party's nomination; insiders say a well-known public official is considering the race as well.
The incumbent is Senator Jim Inhofe, who has said he will seek reelection for the fourth time. Inhofe won a special election in 1994, and was reelected in 1996 and 2002, when he easily defeated former Governor David Walters.
