Congressman Norm Dicks Not Seeking Reelection

Congressman Norm Dicks announced this morning that he will be stepping aside in January of 2013, after 36 years on Capitol Hill. When we think of Dicks’ career over those 36 years, we think of his dedication to advocating for the interests and businesses in his district in particular, and across Washington State as well.

I am announcing today my intention to complete my service in the House of Representatives at the end of the current session but not to be a candidate for re-election to the 113th Congress. After 18 terms representing the people of the 6th Congressional District of Washington, preceded by eight years on the Staff of Senator Warren G. Magnuson, Suzie and I have made the decision to change gears and enjoy life at a different pace.

The question now … who’s next? Or, who’s on your short list?
