GOP state Rep. Marty Seifert announced this morning in Marshall that he will not be seeking an eighth term in the Minnesota House. Seifert, a Republican who is running for governor, held a news conference in Marshall this morning. The Marshall Independent said Seifert made the announcement so other candidates and his constituents know his plans:

"The decision was made a long time ago not to run, regardless of how the governor's race goes and before Governor Tim Pawlenty announced he was not seeking re-election," Seifert said.

Seifert has a a 1:30 PM Capitol news conference scheduled, where he will presumably make the same announcement.
