Rep. Ron Paul will not seek reelection to his Texas congressional seat next year, regardless of his fate in the Republican presidential race. Paul, who is currently serving his 12th term in Congress, will instead spend the bulk of his time on the 2012 Republican contest.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., hasn’t made a definitive decision yet on whether she will seek to return to the House if her presidential bid fails. The conservative Republican presidential candidate has said she is not "actively seeking re-election".  However, she has not ruled it out entirely. Minnesota has a late Congressional filing deadline so she’s got plenty of time before she has to make a go-no-go decision.
