Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT) announced Tuesday that he would not run for reelection in 2014.
Matheson made the announcement on his Facebook page. His decision creates a big pickup opportunity for the GOP as the Utah congressman’s district leans heavily Republican. In 2012 Matheson narrowly beat Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love ( R) to keep the seat. In 2013 Love announced that she would run for Matheson’s seat again.
