BURLINGTON — A prominent Republican considered a candidate in 2010 has told supporters he doesn’t plan to seek office.
The Daily Sentinel newspaper reports that Mark Hillman has e-mailed supporters saying he will not seek office in 2010, not specifying which office.
Hillman was a state senator for seven years, rising to become Republican leader in that chamber.
He was also briefly state treasurer from 2005 to 2006 when then-treasurer Mike Coffman was deployed to serve in Iraq.
Hillman ran for a full term as state treasurer in 2006 but lost to Democrat Cary Kennedy.
