Bachmann Announces Bid for Fourth Congressional Term

Rep. Michele Bachmann will run for a fourth term in Congress, the former GOP presidential candidate told the Associated Press.

"I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing a strong, powerful voice to Washington, D.C.," Bachmann said in an interview published Wednesday. "We have to radically scale back on government spending, we have to radically cut back on debt accumulation."

AP reports:

Bachmann will be a formidable candidate in Minnesota's 6th District, where other Republican hopefuls had stood aside until she made a decision on running for reelection. She is a potent fundraiser, but faces uncertainty over how her Republican-leaning district will be reshaped by redistricting.
