OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Bob Kerrey says he will not seek the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate next year.

The former governor and U.S. senator from Nebraska and 1992 presidential candidate says he made the decision not to run for the seat being vacated by Republican Chuck Hagel after discussions with his family. Kerrey says he has unfinished business at New School University in New York, where he is president.

But Kerrey says he came much closer to saying yes to a Senate run that he thought he would.

So far, no Democrats have declared their candidacy for the seat. Declared Republican candidates are former governor and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns, state Attorney General Jon Bruning and Schuyler businessman Pat Flynn.
