The Shot | Ballentine will not seek votes, but does not rule out run
\n<\/a>June 29, 2007<\/p>\n

The Shot has received a copy of A following letter sent from Representative Nathan Ballentine to members of the State House and Senate. Representative Ballentine does not rule a run for State Treasurer in the future, but he does say that he will not seek votes at this time because no office has been vacated. He says seeking votes at this time is inappropriate. One has to wonder if this is a small slap at Representative Converse Chellis who is currently seeking votes.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the letter:<\/p>\n

Dear *\u2014\u2013,<\/p>\n

I appreciate the interest and questions I have received over the last
\nseveral days in reference to any intentions I may have to serve our
\nstate in a statewide capacity. With my managerial and financial
\nbackground for the past fourteen years and with my collegiate degrees in
\nboth Finance and Insurance\/Economic Securities, these questions are
\nbound to continue to persist.<\/p>\n

I am certainly flattered and humbled by the admiration and confidence
\nmany of you have in my abilities to continue to serve our state in
\nwhatever capacity may present itself. For that, I thank you.<\/p>\n

Until there is a vacancy to consider, I feel it inappropriate and
\nimproper to actively seek commitments. Should a vacancy present itself,
\nI will certainly seek your guidance and support.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, please enjoy our well-deserved break from this
\nlegislative session and call me if I may be of assistance before we
\nreturn.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Nathan
