Would Kyle Resign His Leadership Post?

Sean Braisted on Jim Kyle’s not-so-subtle non-announcement announcement that he will be a candidate for governor when the current legislative session ends:

Kyle’s entrance into the race would make five declared candidates, others include Kim McMillan, Ward Cammack, Mike McWherter, and Roy Herron.

If Kyle follows Herron’s lead and resigns as Minority Leader, that would result in a completely new leadership team…Lowe Finney was recently tapped to replace Herron as Caucus Chair.

Kyle would probably be seen as one of the more progressive of the candidates running for office, with McWherter and Herron focusing more on the conservative Dem base.

I would imagine that Kyle would not elect to resign as the position of Minority Leader does not have the fundraising obligations that the Caucus Chairs slot has, but you never know.
