Please, Don't Go by Michelle Oddis
Last Monday seven term congressman John Shadegg (R-Az.) surprised Republicans by announcing that he will not seek re-election this fall. "It is time to seek a new challenge in a different venue," said Shadegg. But just days after his announcement Shadegg may now reconsider after receiving an unprecedented letter signed by more than 140 of his House GOP colleagues pleading for him to stay.
The letter was spearheaded by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind). Pence -- like Shadegg -- is a former chairman of the Republican Study Committee.
“Dear John,” it reads “as your colleagues, your fellow conservatives, and your friends, we sincerely ask that you reconsider your decision to retire from Congress.”
