Everett Considers Governor's Office MONTGOMERY, AL (APR - Alabama Public Radio ) - Terry Everett's retirement from Congress may not be a farewell to politics.

The 2nd District representative from Rehobeth says he's considering entering the Republican primary for governor in 2010.

Republican Gov. Bob Riley has served two terms and can't run again in 2010. State Republican Party Chairman Mike Hubbard says Everett would be a strong candidate if he decides to run.

Everett will retire from Congress in January after serving 16 years. His district runs from Montgomery to Dothan.
