Tennessee Democrat Lincoln Davis to run in 2010

CHATTANOOGA (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis said he will run again, unlike two Democratic congressional colleagues who have decided against seeking re-election in Tennessee districts that Republicans are looking to take in 2010.

Davis, a former state legislator and mayor from Pall Mall, represents Tennessee's 4th District where a doctor seeking the GOP nomination already has raised nearly as much in campaign contributions as the incumbent.

Two Democrats, U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon, who was elected in the 6th District in 1984, and Rep. John Tanner, who has represented the 8th District since his election in 1988, have said they won't seek re-election.
