Elsenheimer won't run for Stupak seat

Lansing -- House GOP Leader Kevin Elsenheimer has decided against running for U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak's seat in Michigan's 1st District.

Elsenheimer spokesman Bill Nowling told the Associated Press today the Kewadin Republican has decided "it's probably not the right move for him."

"While it would have been an honor to serve in Congress, I want to spend more time closer to home and representing the largest congressional district east of the Mississippi would make that nearly impossible," Elsenheimer said in a statement. "After discussing it with my family, I concluded that my priorities are right here at home."
