Scott Romney 2014 Senate Run Not Happening: Report

Mitt Romney's Brother Reportedly Not Running For Senate

Months after one Romney failed to reach the White House, speculation of another Romney running for U.S. Senate appears to be heading closer to a no.

Days after word broke that Scott Romney was considering a 2014 run for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, the opposite news surfaced Tuesday.

Michigan Information & Research Service reported that the brother of the 2012 GOP presidential candidate said it was a "tough decision," but knew that it wasn't the "right time" for him to run.

Roll Call also cited a Tuesday GOP source as the bearer of the same news. Back on Friday, an additional Republican source delivered the opposite perspective.

On Thursday, longtime Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) announced that he was not seeking reelection in 2014, paving the way for the opening. Romney, the 71-year old brother of 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, currently serves as a corporate attorney in the Detroit office of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP.
