Mike Sodrel did John Hostettler one better.  While Hostettler announced his campaign for U.S. Senate in an impersonal Youtube video, Sodrel just sent out a midnight press release to disclose his plan to run for Congress (again) in the 9th District.

This is a good day for Congressman Baron Hill (D-9th District), who has defeated Sodrel in 3 of the last 4 elections.  Hill now can look forward to a potentially expensive and divisive GOP primary where Republican Todd Young looked to be putting together a strong organization.  That news comes on the same day that Hill is hosting the U.S. Energy Secretary for a jobs announcement.

Sodrel’s announcement comes late in the cycle but he still has name ID and the ability to self-finance.  This should be interesting.
