| Description | MARION, Ill. Congressman John Shimkus has decided to break his promise not to serve in the U-S House for more than 12 years.
The Collinsville Republican announced that he's taking back the term-limit pledge while attending a Republican Party fund-raiser in southern Illinois over the weekend.
Supporters say Shimkus' announcement received a standing ovation from about 450 people gathered for the Pre-World Trotting Derby Banquet at the Williamson County Pavilion.
A spokesman today says the decision means that Shimkus is not only seeking re-election next year, but that he expects to try for a possible seventh term in 2008. |
