CINCINNATI (Reuters) - Nick Clooney, father of actor George Clooney (news) and brother of the late singer Rosemary Clooney (news), said on Monday he will run for the U.S. Congress from a district in northern Kentucky.
Clooney, 67, will campaign as a Democrat to succeed three-term Democrat Rep. Ken Lucas, who backed Clooney's candidacy in his retirement announcement. Lucas called Clooney "a fresh face on the political scene who is intelligent, articulate, highly respected, and above all, passionate."
Lucas, 70, is Kentucky's lone Democrat in Congress but frequently crossed party lines to vote with his five Republican colleagues.
Clooney, a former Cincinnati television news anchorman who currently writes a thrice-weekly column for the Cincinnati Post, has never run for public office. He will be taking a leave of absence from the newspaper, a Post editor said
