Ex-Rhode Island governor considers run for old Senate seat

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee says he's considering running for his old seat in the U.S. Senate.

Chafee made the announcement Wednesday in an interview with WPRO-AM.

Chafee was a Republican when he lost the seat to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in 2006. Whitehouse is seeking a third term.

Whitehouse's campaign issued a statement that didn't mention Chafee after it was asked for comment. It says Whitehouse looks forward to talking with Rhode Island residents about his Senate priorities.
