First-term Rep. Dan Clute of Clive has decided he won't be running for
re-election in 2008. He says that a new job is what led him to choose
the option. I'm sure being a new member of the minority party in the
House didn't help either. That makes the list of Republicans in the
Iowa Legislature who aren't running for re-election even longer. On
the list right now are folks like Pat Ward, Jeff Angelo, Mary Lundby,
Walt Tomenga, and now Dan Clute.
