Senator Kaufman weighs governorship bid amid anti-poverty debate
West Virginia state Senator Paul Kaufman says two factors will shape his possible 1968 Democratic primary run. He cites effects of anti-poverty programs on voters and a desire to raise political dialogue. Kaufman, first elected in 1960 from the Eighth District, has toured about a third of the state's counties and urged stronger civil service and pollution controls. He notes a mood shift linked to federal programs alleviating poverty, while reaffirming support for a corporate net income tax and robust enforcement of mining and environmental laws. He says voters will decide based on heart and conscience.
