Retiring Rep. Terry Everett (R) said he’s thinking of running for Alabama governor in 2010.

The 8-term congressman told the Montgomery Advertiser that he’s considering his options, which includes a gubernatorial bid. Everett added that several people have contacted him about a possible run.

He also told the newspaper that he is backing Republican Jay Love in the race to replace him. Everett said that he would donate money to Love’s campaign but reserve much of the approximately $806,000 remaining in his campaign account for a possible future race.
