POULSBO, Wash. (AP) — During a visit to Washington state over the weekend, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (koo-SIN’-ich) made it clear he doesn’t like nuclear weapons or nuclear power. But he did nothing to clear up his political plans in the state.

Kucinich spoke in Poulsbo to about 100 people at the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action next to the Navy base at Bangor on Sunday evening.

The Kitsap Sun (http://bit.ly/r1TkVk ) reports this was Kucinich’s fifth visit to Washington in recent months.

There is widespread speculation that the seven-term Ohio Democrat plans to run for Congress in this state after redistricting in Ohio is likely to put him among a sea of new Republican-dominated districts in that state.
