Barney Frank, Top Liberal, will not Seek reelection

Speaking from his district office on Monday after announcing his plan to withdraw from the House of Representatives, Mr. Frank said he was tired of the partisan battles that there was hot when he won the presidency three decades ago, tired of the campaign who hates, and in 71, flat tired.
I have been doing this for 45 years with a six-month sabbatical, "Frank said in an interview, referring to his political career, which began as an aide to former Mayor Kevin White of Boston." It was a privilege to fight for the quality of life of people, but I'm ready to put a little more quality in my own life. Mr. Frank said that he intended to serve a longer period, but after seeing his district redesigned, which would give more than 300,000 new components and does not include workers in New Bedford, one of its strongholds, he changed his mind .
