Ron Paul Announces He Will Not Run For Re-Election In House

| July 12, 2011 | 1 Comment

(Kurt Nimmo)  Ron Paul has announced on his Facebook page that he will not seek re-election for his seat in the House of Representatives.

“I have decided not to seek re-election for my House seat in 2012 and will focus all of my energy winning the Presidency,” he wrote this morning.

Paul currently serves the 14th congressional district of Texas, which encompasses the area south and southwest of the Greater Houston region, including Galveston.

In April, during an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Dr. Paul said he would make a final decision on his candidacy in May. “We’re getting awfully close,” Paul explained, “and there are just a few other things I have to iron out personally to make my final decision.”

On May 13, Paul officially announced he will run for the GOP nomination for president. “Time has come around to the point where the people are agreeing with much of what I’ve been saying for 30 years. So, I think the time is right,” he said.

Paul won a Republican Leadership Conference straw poll by a large margin in June, demonstrating his viability as a candidate. In February, he won a presidential straw poll at theConservative Political Action Conference, finishing ahead of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for the second year in a row.
