After serving almost 24 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Ron Paul told The Facts this morning he will not be seeking another term for the District 14 seat.

Paul, 75, will instead focus on his quest for the presidency in 2012.

“I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election,” Paul said. “It’s about that time when I should change tactics.”

His announcement will give enough time for anyone with aspirations for his seat to think about running, he said. Paul didn’t want to wait for filing in the 2012 primary to let people know he wasn’t seeking reelection.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Paul will not be returning to the US House of Representatives for another term.


Generically speaking, this is good news for Democrats and bad news for Republicans. Had Paul run, he almost certainly would have won, making his seat a safe one for the GOP. Now it's an open election, and they'll have to fight to keep it.

And I think this will allow Dr. Paul to run a better Presidential race. In my own, humble opinion, Dr. Paul SHOULD BE our next President. He's the man we need. He's the man I will vote for.
