Advisers urge her to head off potential rivals to replace her husband in Congress.By Steve Gibson and Sam Stanton -- Bee Staff Writers
Published 2:15 am PST Monday, January 10, 2005Moving to fend off any potential competition, Doris Matsui began calling Sacramento friends and political figures Sunday to tell them she plans to run for the seat her husband held for 26 years before he died Jan. 1.
Matsui, 60, widow of Rep. Robert Matsui, D-Sacramento, plans to make a formal announcement early this week, said numerous people who spoke to her Sunday, one day after her husband was buried.
She had hoped to wait longer before making the move, but political advisers convinced her that she needed to make it clear she plans to run before any other candidates emerge.
