Former governor, cabinet member Thompson seeking presidency

Washington - Tommy Thompson, a former governor of the Midwestern state of Wisconsin and past member of US President George W Bush's cabinet, announced Sunday that he is a candidate for the centre-right Republican Party's presidential nomination. Thompson, 65, was secretary of the Health and Human Services Department during Bush's first term from 2001-05. He announced his candidacy Sunday to ABC News, calling himself 'the reliable conservative.' Thompson had formed a presidential exploratory committee more than three months ago. He is not considered among the Republicans' top tier of candidates, which is led by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, Senator John McCain of Arizona and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
