Nevertheless, on May 20, 2006, Weed was chosen as the Democratic nominee by a 114–73 vote of the delegates to the party convention. In Weed's 2006 campaign, he emphasized the need for better treatment of military veterans. One of his campaign proposals was to establish a college for disabled veterans in the district.
