“Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez confirmed to Congressional Quarterly on Tuesday that his current eighth House term will be his last ”” though for a different reason than he had originally hoped.

In December 2005, Gutierrez said he would seriously consider a bid against entrenched Chicago Democratic Mayor Richard M. Daley in the city’s February 2007 election ”” even as the congressman sought re-election in November 2006, a given in the overwhelmingly Democratic, Hispanic-majority 4th District, where he has never faced a serious general election challenge. Gutierrez also said his 2006 House re-election race would be his last congressional campaign.”
