Rand Knight, most recently a post-doctoral associate with NEON, has just announced his candidacy for the US Senate seat currently held by Saxby Chambliss from Georgia.
The Senate Office of Archives and Public Records indicates that he is the first Ph.D. in Ecology/Environmental Science to run for US Senate. Wouldn't it be a great day when an ESA President or staff from the Public Affairs Office are on "The Hill" giving testimony before one of our own. His campaign web site is at: http://www.KnightForSenate.com. -David Kirschtel
