Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire will announce Monday she will not seek a third term, creating the fourth open seat gubernatorial contest of the 2011-2012 cycle. A Democratic source tells POLITICO that Gregoire will say she'll forego another campaign during a news conference at the executive mansion in Olympia at 1 p.m. Eastern time. The two-term Democrat has been saddled with sluggish poll numbers, registering just a 37 percent approval rating in April, according to a SurveyUSA poll. politico.com

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) has drawn his share of unflattering news coverage, but it’s the journalist in his family who is the more outspoken media critic. Brown’s wife of nearly 25 years, Gail Huff, is a longtime television reporter who now works for ABC’s Washington affiliate. When the couple appeared together at a Newseum event Saturday on politics and the media, Huff sharply criticized political coverage in the Beltway, particularly involving Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee. “I thought the coverage of her when she was on the ticket was sexist,”” Huff said in response to a question from the moderator. “I found it difficult many times to watch. The kind of questions she was asked were very different than the kind of questions [Sen. John] McCain was asked.” thehill.com
