Father of Reporter Killed on Live TV on Running for Congress: “I’m a Long Way from Throwing My Hat in the Ring’

‘I have to consider whether I can be more effective as an advocate to help elect other progressive candidates’

EXCERPT:

PARKER: "Well, I'm still fighting the fight. And, you know, I tell you, the musings that I have about considering a run, never saying never, it sure created quite a buzz. But I've got to tell you, Alisyn, I'm a long way from throwing my hat in the ring. There's hurdles that I have to consider, chief of which is whether I can be more effective as an advocate to help elect other progressive candidates across the Commonwealth and the country versus being one member of Congress. Frankly, I would — if I could wave the magic wand, I'd clone Chris Hurst, who just won a delegate seat in rural Virginia, and put him in there to run, because he's just a terrific young man and would be an awesome candidate."
