Ron Paul won't seek congressional term in 2012

LAKE JACKSON (By John Tompkins, The Facts) — After serving almost 24 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Ron Paul told 'The Facts' exclusively 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.”
