LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Democratic Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan announced Saturday that he will not seek re-election to a 19th term in 2018.
Levin, whose Democratic-leaning district is in suburban Detroit, said he will teach at the University of Michigan after 36 years in Washington.
“I have tried to live up to the trust given to me by my constituents by following the values of my parents and family and by acting on what I believe after digging deeply into the facts and consulting broadly,” Levin, 86, said in a statement released after The Associated Press reported that he would not run again.

86? Good time to quit. Let the 88 year old black fella suck out the oxygen.
If Conyers croaks on the job can Snyder be expected to appoint a conservative (though more likely a Rino).
86? What the heck is wrong with this picture? Have these people never thought that at maybe 65 or the very longest 70 years of age is enough?
Have they never thought that maybe I will step aside and leave this seat to someone younger and more dynamic with fresh ideas to bring forth to a new generation of Americans?
Are their egos so immense that they believe that they are the only ones who can do their job?
Retirement is about 20 years late, Levin. Good riddance.
Our Founder never meant for there to be life-time congress creatures, never!
MI is finally digging out from under the soviet gerontocracy that has represented them in Congress for decades. Good.
oh, i figured he’s quitting to beat the scandal that will give him aggravation.
People in MI will be in tears for days on learning that Sander is finally leaving. Most probably won’t believe it.
Good for nothing Levin was my “representative” for years till I moved out of Michigan
That is the Senate you are thinking of.
One less RAT.......bye
Good but.....how bout getting off the public dole, PERIOD?
Good sign...implies he doesn’t think the Dems will roll the House in 2018.
A little Levin ..... ruins the Entire STATE!
The Levin family should be very proud of all they did to destroy the once.....Great State of Michigan!
House members don’t get appointed, there is a special election called.
Please do tell...
* At what Salary.
* Full Medical so you don't have to go on Medicare?
* 403b? Group Life that you can max out at your age?
* Any Special Pension since you are so old?
* Or are you doing this for free, not to be cynical but I highly doubt it.
Ah, thanks. My bad.
“The Levin family should be very proud of all they did to destroy the once.....Great State of Michigan!”
Just another of the many Secular Progressive Jews at work here in America trying to convert it to Marxism.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww aint that a shame..I wonder if there are any accusations of him running around in his undies
