Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy says he hopes to decide by the end of the month whether to enter the U.S. Senate race.
"I'm still talking to people," Foy said. "It's been an education for me to find out what people are thinking about."
He said the main concern is that people are worried about the economy.
"A lot of people are concerned about what kind of representation we have," Foy said. "We are an emerging dominate state and have weak federal representation."
The most daunting aspect of a Senate race, Foy said, was the millions of dollars that would have to be raised.
So far two Democrats have entered the race to challenge Republican Richard Burr: Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Durham lawyer Kenneth Lewis.
