Charles Meeker is not in the running.

The longtime Raleigh mayor told Dome this morning that he's not considering a run for the Democratic nomination to face U.S. Sen. Richard Burr.

"I'm not looking at running for Senate," he said. 

Meeker considered a campaign against Sen. Elizabeth Dole in 2008, but he's not looked at leaving the mayor's seat soon.

"This is the highest office in my view," he said.
