NO FIFTH TERM:Michele Bachmann Won't Seek Re-Election In 2014 May 29th 2013, 09:47 Published May 29, 2013 FoxNews.com July 2: GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann speaks with a potential voter in Iowa City.AP Congresswoman Michele Bachmann says she will not run for re-election in 2014, ending her tenure as the representative from Minnesota's sixth congressional district after four terms. In a video released on her website early Wednesday, Bachmann says that, in her opinion, if presidents can only serve eight years that length of time is sufficient for her to serve in Congress. Bachmann claims her decision was not influenced by concerns that she would not be re-elected, or by the ethics probe into her 2012 presidential campaign.  She says she considered not running again for her House seat in 2012 after her failed presidential bid, but felt another Republican candidate would not have enough time to adequately prepare for the race. "I will continue to work overtime for the next 18 months in Congress defending the same constitutional conservative values we have worked so hard on together," Bachmann said.
