DEMOCRAT PATRICK LEAHY, SENATE'S MOST SENIOR MEMBER, ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont announced Monday morning that he will
not seek reelection next year, following nearly 50 years in the chamber. 

"It is time to put down the gavel," he said during his speech delivered at the
state capitol in Montpelier. "It is time to pass the torch to the next
Vermonter, who will carry on this work for our great state. It is time to come
home."



The 81-year-old, who serves as president pro tempore of the Senate and is the
longest-serving member of the upper chamber, announced that he will not seek a
ninth term. First elected in 1974, Leahy has remained in the Senate for eight
presidencies.

Leahy's announcement sets up the first open Senate election in Vermont since
2006, when congressman Bernie Sanders became Senator Bernie Sanders. Because
Sanders is technically an Independent, Leahy is the only Democrat to ever have
been elected to the Senate from Vermont.
