I'm up for re-election in 2014, and yes I do plan to run for re-election.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am running for re-election no matter who runs.
I don't care what party you belong to or what your background is. If you believe we are headed in the wrong direction, and believe there needs to be a check and balance on the President and Congress, then join my campaign.

If you're running for president, you've got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I've not done any of those things. It's not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation.
I will not run for president. No, nope, not going to do it.
I'll never run for office. But I intend, either on the fiscal commission or on issues like immigration, to hopefully have my voice be heard.
I will make the final decision on running for governor after my congressional term ends.
I will continue to work with the Republican Party to try to encourage primaries.
After a great deal of thought and discussions with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election in 2014. Politics shouldn't be a career, and I never intended to make it one.
I'm not going to join any party. If I do vote again, and if I do become, you know, politically active, it will be independent.
