Former Marine planning run for Congress in 2010

By the Herald staff

Former Marine Jay Clough of Kennewick plans to announce Monday that he will run as a Democrat for the 4th Congressional District seat currently held by Republican Doc Hastings.

The seat will be up for election in November 2010.

This will be Clough's first campaign for office, but he did run a political website and podcast as a hobby. However, he's taken the site down as he starts his campaign, he said.

Clough, who graduated from Kennewick High School in 1995, is an employee of Washington Closure Hanford. He has been active with United Way, Second Harvest and Junior Achievement, he said.

He plans to make the announcement at 9:30 a.m. Monday near the Regional Veterans Memorial in Columbia Park, Kennewick. He also will make the announcement at 1 p.m. in Yakima.
