Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ) has kept pretty quiet about his future reelection plans in the face of a federal corruption investigation into a shady land deal and increasingly stiff electoral competition.
But yesterday he indicated to Roll Call that he's considering whether or not to run again, and in fact appears to be leaning towards not running for a fourth term. Judge the following comment for yourself.
"To be honest, I was never going to be here a great while," Renzi told Roll Call. "I'm a businessman at heart."
Yeah, well, it's his business ventures while in office that have netted him a federal inquiry and a whole slew of 2008 challengers. He'd have a tough time getting reelected, anyways - he says he still hasn't made up his mind, but it's hardly a difficult choice.
