Tom Coburn to run for re-election in 2010

 

Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, said on Monday (6/1/09) that he plans to run for a second term in 2010.

No other candidates have announced plans to seek the post in 2010.

Coburn, a physician and an obstetrician by training, has strongly opposed embryonic stem cell research, claiming adult stem cells have already shown to be effective.
