Feingold mum on next move following envoy job

MILWAUKEE - Former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold is leaving his job as a special envoy to the Great Lakes Region of Africa without tipping his hand on his next potentially political move.

Feingold didn't talk about a possible rematch with Republican Sen. Ron Johnson during a speech Tuesday at the U.S. Institute of Peace. Feingold is wrapping up an 18-month diplomatic mission for the State Department next month.

The Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1DRH0b8 ) says the only hint Feingold gave about his future political ambitions came when he thanked his assistant, Mary Irvine, whom he described as his ``once, current and I hope future chief of staff.''
