Jon Kyl to Retire in 2012
Sen. Jon Kyl, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, will not seek a fourth term in office, he said Thursday at a hotel in Phoenix.
Kyl offered no explanation for his decision to bow out other than simply being ready to end his tenure. "I really can't explain it any better than to say, my heart says it's time," Kyl said. "Let me hasten to say that there is nothing negative about the decision."
Though not entirely unexpected, Kyl had not made public his plans. He has kept his decision private, only recently beginning to tell political allies. Kyl informed Gov. Jan Brewer of his decision late Wednesday, an Arizona Republican source said.
Kyl becomes the second Republican to announce his departure, following Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX). His decision will have an impact in the Senate, too, where Republicans will maneuver to fill leadership posts Kyl will vacate.
