Former U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer sent an email to supporters yesterday saying he won't run for Congress next year. The Decision would mean there would not be another ugly rematch against current U.S. Rep Tim Walberg.

 Schauer and Walberg competed against each other for this seat in 2008 and again last year. Both elections turned ugly, with boatloads of money being invested from both sides.

 It will be interesting to see who the Democrats picks to take on Rep. Walberg, and how much money will be spent next year.

Schauer currently serves as national co-chair of the BlueGreen Alliance Jobs 21! Campaign.
