Ketner forms a new nonprofit group
Following her narrow loss in the First District Congressional race, Linda Ketner announced Tuesday she's forming a new nonpartisan, nonprofit group to make the coastal district a better place to live.
She also wouldn't rule out running again in 2010.
The final tally showed Ketner, a Democrat, beat incumbent Republican Rep. Henry Brown by 54-46 in Charleston County, but her win there couldn't offset losses in Berkeley, Dorchester, Georgetown and Horry counties. Brown won re-election by a 52-48 margin — by far the slimmest margin for a Republican here in two decades.
Ketner wrote to her supporters saying, "I'm sorry we didn't win, but our numbers and ideas are capable of great impact and change, so don't be disheartened. When a door closes, a window is opened." She met with her supporters Monday night to discuss where to go from here.
