Washington (CNN) — U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, a prominent 16-term liberal Democrat from Massachusetts and arch-enemy of political conservatives nationwide, will announce Monday he does not intend to seek re-election in 2012, according to a statement from Frank’s office.
Frank, 71, will hold a news conference in his district to discuss the decision at 1 p.m.
I’m guessing that the right wing is elated over this announcement. I hope there is a strong progressive candidate out there to replace him.
