The only chance you'll have to see Ron Paul in elective office in 2013 will be in the Oval one.
The Facts:
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.”
It's surprising a lot of people.
Brazoria County Republican Chair Yvonne Dewey said she was not expecting Paul’s announcement, made exclusively to The Facts early Tuesday.
“I’m surprised,” she said. “He has won very handily in the last few elections. He’s hung in there all these years.”
