DaytonOS is reporting this morning that Dave Hobson will retire rather than seek re-election.
Ohio 7th District Congressman Dave Hobson will not seek re-election to a 10th term in the U.S. Congress.
The much expected retirement of Cong. Hobson has not been formally announced even though State Senator Steve Austria (Hobson’s hand picked successor) is already preparing for a Congressional campaign and at least two Republicans are lining up for Austria’s Ohio State Senate seat.

Part of Columbus is gerrymandered into this district.
Hobson has held this seat since 1990.
Mike DeWine held the seat from 1982 to 1990.
A Democrat has held this seat for two years only, since the district was created in 1920: Arthur W. Aleshire (D) held the seat from 1936 to 1938.
I look forward to running against Steve Austria in 2008. I ask for the support of all Democrats, Independents and progressive Republicans.
