U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords released the following statement today after the announcement by U.S. Rep. John Shadegg that he will not seek an eighth term.
"While we don't agree on every issue, John and I share a fierce loyalty and love for Arizona. Bipartisanship and collaboration are essential if we are to change the culture of Washington. John and I have each crossed the aisle during the 110th Congress to support legislation that is good for the nation and our state. I wish him well."
