Former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) said that it is "very unlikely" his name will appear on the ballot in 2010, but did not rule out running for political office in the future.

Bradley lost to incumbent U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester) on Election Day, but told supporters that he might run again for Congress.

"Save those signs," Bradley said last Tuesday.

However, today he said that it is "very unlikely" he will run for office in 2010.

"I think it's very unlikely that I will be on the ballot in any form in 2010, but beyond that who knows," Bradley told PolitickerNH.com in an interview.

Bradley later added, "I don't want to close doors and options but I'm moving in a new direction even though I don't exactly know what that is."

Bradley said his immediate future plans include spending more time with his kids and helping his campaign staffers find jobs.
