The already large field of Democratic presidential candidates has grown again: Joe Sestak, a former Pennsylvania congressman with an extensive military background, said Sunday that he plans to seek the presidency.
“I’m Joe Sestak, and I wore the cloth of the nation for over 31 years in peace and war, from the Vietnam and Cold War eras to Afghanistan and Iraq and the emergence of China,” he said in a video announcing his candidacy.
A retired three-star admiral, Sestak represented Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district for two terms, from 2007 to 2011, and has mounted two unsuccessful runs for the US Senate.
His experience, during his 31-year naval career, included a command position in a region now much in the news: In 2002, he led a carrier strike group during combat operations in the Gulf.
Sestak, whose father was a navy man, also served on the national security staff under President Bill Clinton. He holds a doctorate in government and political economy from Harvard.
Sestak has a reputation as something of a maverick and party outsider.
He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Sestak’s late entry into an already crowded field — which he said came after his daughter’s brain cancer returned — will complicate his path forward.
Along with three other candidates, he missed the cutoff to be included in the first two televised debates, which will feature 20 Democratic candidates and be held on Wednesday and Thursday in Miami.

4 cats all tested negative for FeLv, leukemia.
The mother, age 3, tested positive for FIV.
Could mean a couple things.
I assume that means mother and kittens cannot be kept together as a result.
Check that, it says there is a low chance an FIV+ cat can pass it on to another cat UNLESS there is a strong likelihood for fighting that would result in deep cuts with other cats.
Yeah. The FIV mother doesn’t fight, so shouldn’t be a prob.
I don’t have her vet records. If she got the FIV vaccine as a kitten, it would explain the positive test.
Mothers don’t pass it in utero.
A work in progress.
$240 today.
$160 for the booster in 3 weeks.
Worse than the dentist.
Fortunately, despite the diagnosis, it shouldn’t prevent her from living a fairly normal lifespan.
I’ve lost a lot of money to both.
Why did yours die from it then?
Does Berniecare include veterinary?
From Feline Leukemia, yes.
Who will be next? Barbara Streisand? I hear creepy Steyer is also running.
Oh, I misread, so yours has....AIDS? :o
FIV, which is related to HIV.
Very healthy cat. Right now.
Who am I and why am I here?
