14. I think he may have decided that he could not raise enough money to run for the Senate

Not to mention the money that would be spent to stop him. He has a hard enough time just raising money for Congress. But I wish too that it was possible.

He doesn't get big corporate money and manages mostly with smaller donations.

MONEY & INFLUENCE

The top campaign contribution to Kucinich in 2007-2008 was $59,517 from employees of ActBlue. Dennis Kucinich’s net worth was between $2,004 and $32,000 in 2007, according to Kucinich’s mandated financial disclosure statements. For more information, see the Center for Responsive Politics’ page for Kucinich.


He doesn't have much personal wealth either.

Marcy Kaptur is more personally wealthy than Kucinich. I wonder if she could run for the Senate? I would love to see her and Elizabeth Warren both in the Senate.
