Renzi denies retirement rumors.

“Despite rumors to the contrary, Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.) said in a brief statement Friday morning that he intends to serve out the remainder of his current term, his third in the House. ‘I am honored to have recently been re-elected, and I’m looking forward to continuing to serve the people of the 1st district for the next two years,’ Renzi said. Telephone calls and e-mails to Renzi’s office seeking a further explanation of the Congressman’s plans were not returned.”
