Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) will retire

Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) will not seek reelection in 2014, he announced Tuesday, a move that will bring to an end a career in Congress spanning more than a decade and leave Republicans in a very good position to pick up his seat.

In a statement posted on Facebook, Matheson didn't specify what he plans to do next, but noted that he intends to continue serving the public in some capacity.
