Washington ExaminerRep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Monday to run for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District in 2028. Massie said the filing allows him to raise funds while he remains in office and considers future options. He stated he has not made a final decision about which office to seek.
Massie lost his primary last week to Ed Gallrein.
President Donald Trump endorsed Gallrein in the race. Pro-Trump and pro-Israel groups contributed millions of dollars to Gallrein's campaign.
In a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, Massie said he would not rule out a presidential run in 2028. He also said he had spent the past five days on his farm and was considering whether to continue in politics. Massie attributed his primary defeat to his work with Democrats to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
