On January 17, 2007 Northup will enter the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] primary election for Governor of Kentucky. Northup's running mate is State Reprentative [[Jeff Hoover]] of [[Jamestown, Kentucky]], Republican leader in the Kentucky House.<ref>{{cite news|date=2007-01-16|title=Northup to file for governor Wednesday|url=http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070116/NEWS0106/70116054|publisher=Courier-Journal|last=Loftus|first=Tim}}</ref>

After a lengthy scandal and investigation during his first term involving alleged abuses of the state's merit-based hiring system, many believed incumbent governor [[Ernie Fletcher]], who planned to seek re-election, no longer had sufficient support from either the Republican Party leadership or voters. It was released from the Courier-Journal newspaper that Anne Northup was praised as a "formidable" candidate by the state's top Republican leader, long-time U.S Senator and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, although McConnell stopped short of an endorsement of any particular candidate. Northup will face Fletcher and businessman [[Billy Harper]] in the primary.<ref>{{cite news |title=Northup run won't affect Fletcher's plans |publisher=Courier-Journal |date=2007-01-11 |url=http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200770111024|coauthors=Tom Loftus, Joseph Gerth and James R.

===2004 campaign===

Northup was elected to a fifth term with 60 percent of the vote in 2004, her largest margin of victory. Her earlier House races were much closer. She defeated long time Jefferson County Circuit Court Clerk [[Tony Miller (Kentucky)|Tony Miller]]. She was able to successfully portray Miller in ads and three debates as uninformed on national issues and unprepared for office.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=Courier-Journal|title=3rd congressional district: Northup keeps seat by biggest margin yet|date=November 3, 2004|last=Yetter|year=Deborah}}</ref> Northup was endorsed by the Courier-Journal (typically seen as liberal) and former state Attorney General [[Chris Gorman (politician)|Chris Gorman]], a Democrat who ran against her for the seat in 1998.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=Courier-Journal|title=Election 2004; Democrat Gorman endorses Northup|date=October 15, 2004|last=Yetter|first=Deborah}}</ref>

===2002 campaign===
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
While campaigning for a fourth term in 2002, it was revealed that Northup's office had both telephoned and sent a letter to the [[Federal Communications Commission]] regarding a licensing problem that had previously been dismissed concerning her husband's company. Since the letter referred to a company vice president as a constituent and did not mention that Northup's husband was the president, the [[Center for Public Integrity]] called the action a breach of [[ethics]] and the [[Congressional Accountability Project]] called for an investigation by the House ethics panel. Northup's staff said the letter, which had also asked for updates on the application's progress, did not reveal Northup's ties to the company to avoid the appearance of special consideration. FCC officials acknowledged that the case was reopened on the date of the letter, but said it had done so before the letter arrived. The FCC said Northup's actions had no part in its decision to grant the application four days after receiving the letter.<ref>[http://www.courier-journal.com/localnews/2002/08/29/ke082902s267079.htm (Louisville) Courier-Journal article]</ref>
