It is reported that Lewis will be holding a press conference later today to reveal his future political plans to the general public.
Fillers from the press has it that the Democrats sees Carl Lewis are a sell-able material that can not just run against the incumbent, Dawn Addiego, but possibly kick him out of the senate.
