Former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold Seeks to Reclaim Seat 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Former Wisconsin Democratic Senator Russ Feingold has announced he is
running to retake his Senate seat in 2016. Feingold lost the seat he
held for 18 years to millionaire Republican Ron Johnson in 2010 after
Johnson spent some $9 million of his own money on his campaign.
Feingold, who was seen as one of the Senate's most progressive members,
is best known for working with Senator John Mc Cain to pass the Mc
Cain-Feingold campaign finance law to restrict money in politics.
