Democratic Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson will be retiring from the
Senate after the end of his second term, he announced on Tuesday.
In a
video statement
released Tuesday afternoon, the two-term senator confirmed his decision
not to run for re-election, citing a desire to spend more time with his
family and "look for new ways to serve our state and nation."
"There
is much more that needs to be done to keep America strong. And while I
relish the opportunity to undertake the work that lies ahead, I also
feel it's time for me to step away from elective office, spend more time
with my family, and look for new ways to serve our state and nation,"
Nelson said. "Therefore, I am announcing today that I will not seek
reelection. Simply put: It is time to move on."
