Condit Plans to Run Again, Sources Say

Tuesday, August 14, 2001

According to sources close to Rep. Gary Condit, the California Democrat will do several media interviews before Labor Day, and fully expects to run for re-election to Congress.

Condit plans to sit down with a national print media outlet, a local print media outlet and maybe a national television network, but the source says arrangements are not yet solid.

Condit himself is playing a major role in deciding who he speaks to, the source says.

Sources also say that members of the congressman's staff - and, in some cases, Condit himself - have called several Democratic supporters over the past two weeks, inviting them to an October fund-raiser that would kick off Condit's re-election campaign.

Choosing a local newspaper to talk to "has certainly become complicated," a source close to the congressman said, after the Ceres Courier, Modesto Bee and Fresno Bee all published editorials condemning Condit in the past week. Statewide papers, including the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle, are said to be in the running.
