Rep. Tim Johnson, R-Ill., on Thursday said that that family obligations steered him toward his decision to forego reelection.
Johnson: "I'm almost 66 years old. My time is limited. I have been serving in office for 44 consecutive years. I'm also the father of nine children, have 11 grandchildren and now two great-grandchildren. I have been a part-time father in all those years. That's not good enough. ... aside from the missed birthdays, births, and weddings, there are some specific, critical family issues that require my ongoing attention."
