It's official. Frank Lautenberg won't seek re-election next year.
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a pugnacious and plain-spoken Democrat who has represented New Jersey for three decades, will not seek re-election to a sixth term next year.
"I am not announcing the end of anything. I am announcing the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey," Lautenberg told the Star-Ledger. "While I may not be seeking re-election, there is plenty of work to do before the end of this term and I'm going to keep fighting as hard asever for the people of New Jersey in the U.S. Senate."
More like the beginning of the end. It's your swan song Frank. About damned time too. If you really mean it. After all, you did "retire" once before.
Then again, Cory Booker is no Bob Torricelli.
