Mike McGavick, the former Safeco Insurance chief executive, revealed during his U.S. Senate campaign yesterday that he once had a Maryland drunk driving charge while serving as an insurance lobbyist and he regretted his handling of layoffs at Safeco.
Mr. McGavick--a Republican who is running against Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., in the November election--made unsolicited revelations about "the very worst and most embarrassing things in my life for you to know" on the Web writing in his campaign Blog.
Mentioning the fact that there had been a recent suit filed alleging he improperly took a $28 million severance package when he left Safeco, Mr. McGavick wrote: "I know that the character attacks against me will not stop. So, how about I just tell you directly the very worst and most embarrassing things in my life?"
